After about 40 hours I'm accepting that this isn't for me and moving on. The most fun I had was designing my ship. The quests and characters were all really bland. I liked the vibe of the setting initially but it just feels hollow the more I go. Hit a significant story moment in the main quest that I'm sure I was meant to feel shocked or excited by. Instead I just didn't care because everything leading to it was so bland and the dialogue around it unnatural. Decided then that I wasn't going to have a good time with this even if I went through the grind of skill points to do outpost building (something I suspect I would have loved). Some things I actually liked: the ship builder, some of the visuals are beautiful, the background/trait system. Though I wish the background had mattered more from a roleplay perspective.
