Like Luis said to me one day, the game could easily be called “Elite Dangerous - Space Truck Simulator” and it wouldn’t be too out of place. This is a massive, massive game, I mean massive, to get an idea, here’s a quote from the wikipedia article
Within the virtual galaxy, the player can explore some 400 billion star systems complete with planets and moons that rotate and orbit in real time, reflecting dynamic day-night cycles. Around 150,000 of the game’s star systems are taken from real astronomical data,[26] while a few partially fictional planetary systems, which were created in Frontier and First Encounters before a significant number of exoplanets were discovered, are carried over.
The gist of the game is, you start with a small ship with basic gear, you work and buy upgrades, then you hit the limit of what you can do with the ship and you’ll want something bigger, so you work for that, then you max out the gear - depending on what line of work you prefer - and you repeat until … I’m not sure, I’m not there yet :) . It’s another grinding game, but man, space really is vast and really is amazing - I was doing social isolation before it was cool :)
