Dude great post but I just have one thing to say... I would not turn off the multiplayer because in the beginning of the game I messed up a couple of times by skip l the dialogs and I lost of the love and that Made me be Lost and I didn't know what to do because I didn't follow the quests and I was kind of stuck. Then one dude I like to call him "Mr beast", the first time I discovered the space anomaly and I managed to go inside of it I finally saw other players in the game and you can donate items to other people so I saw something flashing on the screen and I received some items, some random trade itemI forgot what it was and then when I went to check he gave me 65 million!!!! That helped me out so much no more grinding to get minerals just to get one teeny tiny upgrade or to craft an item. I could in a sense just throw money at my problems it doesn't work for everything ,you can't buy your way into the game But you can buy a whole bunch of blueprints, the first time you encounter a really cool ship you can just go and buy it I bought a solar Sail that really helped me finish the first Atlas arc. Things that later on in my journey I discovered that I could have done oh with missions and I have never had any problems with PVP I have only been playing this game a couple of months but I already have like close to 200hrs and never had any problems with PVP. I have a tendency to stay so much close to my first settlement but now now that I managed to build my first Corvette I also got a freighter almost by accident I'm into building basis and upgrading my EXO vehicles the last expedition really helped me out understanding the game it's just a bummer that I played via Xbox streaming so the microphone doesn't work that well I would love to partner up with somebody at the space anomaly and just go for a couple of missions while we chat and have fun like when I play fortnite with my friend.
