I've been dragged back into this since I managed to get my old trusty Saitek X45 HoTaS working again and have sunk a good few hours into it.
Since my skills as a combat pilot are laughable to say the least, I've been doing data courier and delivery missions, and earned enough money to slowly move up the ship list. At present, I'm driving a beefed-up Python, and have amassed sufficient credits to buy and equip an Anaconda (147m Credits), but, I may hold off and keep working on my rep with the Feds to enable me to buy a Corvette, which, at present, is one of the biggest player-owned ships in the game. To be able to buy one, I need to achieve the rank of Rear Admiral and so far I'm just a Lt Commander.
Its still pretty addictive game, although the arly grind for money / rep can be a bit of a drag. At some point, and when its next in a sale, I'll add the 'Horizons' expansion which, amongst other stuff, give you planetary landing and an SUV, a few more ship types and the option of adding a 'drone' fighter bay to larger ships.
