What is up with the rules?

The rules take 5 minutes to read at most and for the most part, are honestly not that complex. If you ever need clarification on things most people in-game are happy to help or here on the forums or Discord.

You can't shoot on sight specifically to facilitate roleplay. You can't have any basic interaction down to even acknowledging they're there if they immediately shoot you.

Tech compatibility exists to ensure people roleplaying aren't using absurdly out-of-place things.

The go to on larger ships can fail to compensate for planets due to how it works but this isn't an issue that stops you from trading on lane, or if you just, don't step away for extended periods of time while flying. Hitting rocks shouldn't be a big issue unless you're going through extremely dense fields where large ships aren't really expected to operate well anyway.

The rules are pretty lax as is, laxening them to the extent you propose would just completely kill any casual roleplay, which is one of the main aspects most of us are here and most people join.
