252.6 hours played, last played October 2024.

It's enjoyable, but I've never been really engaged with it. There's no progression, I don't feel like my character, equipment, or ships are getting better even though I'm upgrading things. No planet is special, even though they're all unique.

I think it would be better if you started out in a "settled" region with interesting factions, hand-designed planets, optional quest lines, etc. The infinite procedurally generated stuff would come into play if you push beyond the edges of known space.

"I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms," she wrote in a statement.

She could just not run for re-election if that's what she's actually worried about. Resigning early doesn't make sense.
