Maybe one day we'll actually get to use said ship
Which reminds me I did want to check your opinion on the current pace and whether you're okay with it. I remembered that since this isn't a session-based game we should probably have been even clearer about our preferences and proclivities. Like:
-I like hoarding ships and finding archeotech, and being a loot goblin and minionmancer as well as a reasonable boss;
-I do like to engage with interesting cultural aspects of a game but I also fear it might slow things down;
-I'll look into every nook and cranny offered for better or worse due to fear of missing out on anything;
-Due to the above I usually favor more macro-scale decisions unless micro-managing is advantageous;
-I don't mind playing second-fiddle at all as long as I can lovingly stroke the walls of a space-faring cathedral, so honestly Sirus could take my position doing footwork and I wouldn't mind just checking in now and then.
So while I'm fine with the current situation I'm not against streamlining things to favor the pacing if you'd prefer that.
