I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Stream confirmed that Ventures will be back in beta in a few weeks and it will now be a team-based thing that you can join up to do with your friends and compete against other teams.

I sadly don't have any friends that play this lol.

Now this is strange. I liked the original idea of people just randomly visiting each other, but this new feature sounds dumb. Who the hell plays a strategic empire simulator in teams?

Does the start you choose really matter? I haven't played since launch and didn't get particularly far then but I wanna jump back in now that it's gotten some big patches.

I believe it matters for one plotline according to what a Dev said but they didn't say which start or plotline that is.

The Terran Cadet story is way longer than I expected. I thought it'd be a quick thing like the Split one in the last DLC but nope I've been doing it for a few hours now and now I know why I haven't been able to trigger Boso Ta's questline so far.

I think the game just autospawns the mines into your inventory. The lockboxes only dropped goods for me but when I checked I suddenly had the mines

Interesting thing I've noticed with Terran travel drives is that they *appear* to be all around inferior to other race's drives going by the stats displayed on screen, but they actually have crazy high acceleration in travel mode that rockets you up to top speed in just a few seconds. Seems like a big winner if you're doing any kind of stop and go travel inside of a sector.

You see your character model like once in the game don't you.

Also being able to do missions for factions that don't like you is great, I did one escort mission for the HOP and went from -15 to +13. And I basically have no choice but to make friends with all the factions around Grand Exchange if I want to be able to build stuff there or collect resources for research, it's too far out for Terrans to really come help me.

Try going to a different system. That triggered it for me when I went to Asteroid Belt.

So I just got teleported to Grand Exhange as part of a quest. I assume I have to build a dock here on the headquarters via normal trade/purchasing to proceed?

That sounds like the normal progression of the HQ plot so yeah I guess that's how they've handled it for the terrans.
