I look at it like this.
I'm never going to outer space in my life, ever, let alone another star system. That's just reality. I'd assume no one on this forum is going either.
In this game I can explore all kinds of planets that can realistically exist due to the engine they are using. That's all I really want to do in it. I don't care if there's space battles or whatever.
I want to see what the engine will generate.

It has it all. Most players are traders, then fighters, then explorers then miners I mean there are multipurpose ships and I used to mix in everything. Trading is a must though because it offers the best money. It will also lead you to discoveries. However along your trades you will probably be pulled over by the cops or pirate so it's best not to specialize but people do it anyways. The best thing to specialize if you want to specialize is exploration because you won't find players at the edge of the known game. I've been on journeys where I wasn't sure if I was going to refuel in time or die. It's a very risky game exploring so I never do it. But I do mild exploring nothin long term and I already have pioneer status [spoiler]one time this guy was in deep space for months with all this data (when you upload the known game world expands) and people were waiting to congratulate him.... A random player shot him down on his return journey before he could upload.... People greifed that guy for a long time. Moral of the story is don't attack explorers. [/spoiler]
