      It’s been a long time since I played Spreadsheets-In-Space. I knew it was time to quit when I could pay my monthly sub with isk earned in-game. It was becoming a second job of sorts. But I had a lot of easy success in high sec mining and getting margins out of it. But staring at mining lasers for hours on end was the worst part of it.

        I was mostly in nullsec, and running fleets was really fun, but everything else was just mostly an idle-game. It got to the point where I was pretty much always running two accounts, and then I spoke the words “Maybe I should get a third monitor so I can scout ahead for myself”.

        Instead, I didn’t do that, and that’s probably a good thing.

        On the other hand, I’ve discovered X4…

        High sec is the tutorial. The game is about organizations and politics. If you don’t get into that aspect of it in one of a thousand ways, you’re not really playing the game.

        Also, when you know what you’re doing, null sec is safer than high sec.

          Nah, the game is definitely about shooting mining lasers at rocks for hours to eventually get better lasers to shoot at more rocks. Not sure what game you played. All that politics stuff sounds dumb anyway 😉
