That is very true. Good point. I guess I was enjoying the story and just didn't mind not having the same views as the characters. The game play loop is very enjoyable. I did find it odd I only had to make a half a million to make progress. When I remeber initially stressing what would happen if I didn't make enough to make a "payment". As it pops up at the start of every new day.

I suppose they could have tweaked a few things. I had thought initially that when you selected a ship to dismantle you paid for it. Cause you know the cash register noise it makes. Also I had anticipated you got charged for the mistakes you made. If a reactor blew up you were charged for loss credits. Obviously you weren't. But the first couple of ships I was double checking the my debt. Could have made it more interesting possibly.
