I've been playing this for about a week now, and it's fun. I wish there was an easier way to play directly with your friends though. I enjoy how large the game itself is and how you can do the missions on the bulletin board, do trading runs, be a pirate pretty much, do bounty hunting stuff, or do exploration to earn credits.
enjoying it too... now that I finally made some halfway decent money. My Steam review:
pulled out of jump by pirate demanding my cargo.
getting pummeled by pirate because my dogfighting skills are suspect.
feds showed up and blasted pirate while I might have gotten in one glancing shot.
pirate blown up I get 6K bounty.
10/10 would get pulled out of jump again.
Yeah, at the moment I have an Asp and a Type 6. I spend most of the time in the Asp running rares, and seeing as how it has one of the best FSD jump distances, doing rare trade runs quickly is beneficial. I did a solid week or so of Nav Beacon bounty hunting which was fun but I didn't ant to go all the way to Lave where it seems most of the pirates are. Also at the moment, the way the bounty/wanted system works is kinda a bummer for true bounty hunters who are going after pirates or mercenaries in the system (or hell the known systems) due to being about to clear the bounty with little issue just by going to a station in the same system. So you could end up getting pirated by a CMDR (player) that doesn't show as wanted and may not have a bounty on him until he shoots at you. Rather as NPC's send you that nice little message about dropping your cargo or they will pick your bones, and then they just open fire. Gotten some decent bounties from NPC's doing that.
Went and explored in the Asp for awhile, but basically just sightseeing got a little old. I find my bouncing between exploring on short runs and doing rare runs. The thing about the Asp is that upkeep on the ship is kind of expensive (the longer you spend in supercruise, the more wear your ship incurs including excessive heat damage).
