NMS....

Well I was right about the grinding. I've needed a lot of materials to craft internal parts of the freighter. Thankfully I have cash and bought most of what I needed. So the grinding has been to vendors and galactic terminals. So not really a grind? Not that I've done much with the materials. Freighter base management is like a ground base in most respects. I was glad to see what looked like a large vault container. But they only have 5 slots of inventory spaces. As well as not fitting the ships, it left gaps that showed game breaking hollow chasms. That was deleted in short order.

I still need more materials to create stations and refining machines. Not to mention fuel. I haven't touched the expeditions or looked into gaining more frigates to do so.

The one ship I did try to buy as an additional one for me to use cost more than the freighter. 14 Million units and that included a trade in value! I might settle for a smaller cheaper shuttle like runabout.

Time will tell how all this plays out, it may take a whiiiiiiiiiile.

I do like the sight of my own capitol ship. Seeing it isn't gonna get old....
