Game is good. Just a few sharp edges for someone new to series, such as myself..
Every day in the discord chat I'll see requests for ship component info, possible item drops to be found, info about trade goods, etc..
Why aren't these things just added to the game already? -as low tier rumours or simply rng checks?
When the new player goes to a hospital, there could be news (info! In the same guise as a rumour, for example) something like; "one of the doctors says in passing..." (Then there would be some medical related piece of game info that randomly came next)
Similarly, when going to the starport, there might be a news blurb about trade goods..
(And) at the ship upgrading facilities, there would be random blurbs occasionally about the many ship components that are available in the game (eg: a grizzled old engineer tells you about an engine only produced by X faction)
(And) possibly at recruitment halls, you might get blurbs like "a drunken Templar stumbles past, catching a glimpse of your assassin's paltry [tier1 weapon name]. "That's not a knife!" He laughs, and proceeds to wave his [tier7 weapon name] in your faces. "... that's a knife!"
You get what I'm saying?
Not all of us have the time & money to spend on the intermajigger chasing up obscure wiki's for info about a game. And it's like peeking up the game's skirt when ya have to resort to that stuff, it takes all the fun & mystery out of things & ya just end up feeling dirty ðŸ¤
Thanks for your time & consideration. Have a great day & may all your runs be profitable.

Putting that info into random quips isn't going to make it easier to find. for example, the answer to questions about ship component info is to go into any starport and use Filters "Ignore Mins" and "Any Faction" -- boom, all the data. Random quip? Players are going to be frustrated going in and out of the starport looking for that one piece of advice out of a hundred lines.
