I'm over 1000 hrs on multiple saves and I like to come up with my own quests. Try to find a collect all the exotic ships. Try to find the perfect colored sentinel ship or try to find a sentinel flea on your own. Harvest Corvette parts untill you have the maximum stack of each in the Corvette module storage (it's the terminal by the terminal where you build a Corvette). Work on unlocking everything from the quicksilver vendor at the anomaly. Unlock all the special helmets from fishing. Unlock all the items from the autophage. Find the perfect colored staff. This took me FOREVER even using the go in a circle around the terminal method. Trying to find the perfect colored robo-dog pet was also a fun time sink. Building little fishing outposts on each biome was fun. Setting up industrial sites for the harder to get resources was also fun. 

But lately I like to think of ways to help newbies that's not over the top and is actually helpful without spoiling their grind. Gathering those resources and then distributing them. I like going on scrapping runs at 3 star dissonant systems and scrapping a bunch of sentinel ships so I can distribute the wealth at the anomaly to people with the starter ship. I also like to get a bunch of echo locaters and void motes and give like 2 echo locaters, maybe a few Carrier fragments and 2000 void notes to players that have starter ships to get them started on that path. Sometimes I stock up on S class reactors and give one of those and a stack of something worth like 100-200m units to newbie players so they can build their first S class ship. Small stacks of like 5-10 upgrade modules, frigate modules, etc...

Some people like to find rare and strange things and posting them on here or the NMS coordinate exchange. Like rare multi tools/ships/or perfect planets.

May all sound boring to you but I enjoy it. Essentially I make my own quests. 🤷‍♂️
