Quote:Point is, discovery is too dependent on the time you spent ingame. Perhaps I would be doing well in a transport for my RP, but sorry, I need to grind up the money for it first. Unless I have a couple of hours I want to waste on pixel ships, I really have to choose between good RP and powertrading/mining.
So you claim flying a cargo ship is a time waste?
You can only RP on a military ship?
For the sake of good gameplay, we need both traders and military ships.
I think no matter how little time you have for FL, spending 20-30% of it on trading (mining, smuggling) won't do any bad.
I really doubt it's a problem for anyone to purchase and maintain a fighter, bomber or freighter.
Wanna "RP" on something bigger? Trade a little, you'll get your dread in a couple of weeks/months.
Or ask your buddy to share it. That's the way most factions and reasonable buddies do.
Maybe earning cash is too easy. Dunno.
Want more traders in space to shoot?
I've another option for ya. Add CAU IX in 4.87. Like.. 4.05 multiplyer, 2 bil worth. ))))
