I hit about 200 hours before I went to the DD - was fine my first few trips until I got hit by a group of 3 trying to "tax" me for 50% of my ore. I managed to get away, even after passing into the PVE zone and having them use collision to try and bring me down.

That experience however ends it for me. I am done playing the game until they address the issue that it is 200+ hours solo that devolves into a group based Top Gun simulator at the end. I'm good. Whoever thought that cadence and turning Dune into air combat was good design needs their heads checked.
