What difficulty are people playing on? I've tried normal and found it was trivially easy, but moving up to hard I get immediately destroyed whenever I move into a sector that's even vaguely hostile. I inevitably encounter a ship I have no option to surrender to, consistently fail an escape roll on every turn and, if I'm lucky, get forced to surrender due to pilot/engine loss before dropping to 0 hull. Then I'm basically trapped in a failure cycle having lost half my crew and out of pocket extensive repair and healing costs. I'm generally trying to follow the Faen quest; is that not a good idea on harder difficulties?

So you could fly off and level up for twenty years before trying to take on the main quest. When I tried this, the faen conspiracy sister showed up on the third planet I visited to tell me that the arbiter had hitched another ride to the faen court but I was welcome to go there to get missions. Additionally, when I tried taking the arbiter mission then waiting until the last moment to complete it, she actually got pissed off a few weeks in and left, making her own way to the faens (that annoyed me a bit because for that particular mission the deadline is a straight up lie)

How do people weigh up the choice to upgrade vs replace their ship? Starting in the trusty frontier liner, should I be upgrading my ship regularly or buying the bare essentials (namely an upgraded weapons locker) until I can get a 6000 tonner?
