The game is fucking boring. I made the chars but there's nothing to do. I don't have one char in every system so if people are 30 mins away from my ships I'll just log off and do something else. If I made the journey; after every minute of me not being there the chance of activity dispersing increases, and if I even got to the system they might be in some obscure location I don't know about.
I took large breaks from the game and can't PvP the way I used to, I don't want to spend all day in conn so finding equal competition is rare. And when it does happen and it's over it can take hours before I get another fight.
Things in systems keep getting moved around to where I'm tabbing in and out looking at online nav maps. Which makes travelling tedious. I get that the mod is called "Discovery" and there are lots of cool things to discover. But after finding the two easter egg systems in vanilla FL I'm done with discovering. I want to discover some interactions
I guess everything boils down to the sad player count
I'd spend hours on 4.85 disco because building up ships for interactions was meaningful. Now events and combat situations have to be planned in advanced to get anything interesting in the server to happen
I genuinely used to hate the forums but now I find the forums more interesting than the game because at least things happen here.
