Is it just me or is this game boring?

I was so looking forward to it, yet now that I have it it seems like the hardest part is to not crash into dark moons. I seem to just wander around making a decent living collecting debris like Fred Sanford. I even came across waht appeared to be an intact but hullless carrier (meaning 500 + tons of componets including 9 fighters). The most difficult part was limping to a trade center at 1/4 power.

Am I missing something?

Restart the game on the hardest difficulty. Go through one of the warp points. Then try not to die. Also there is a command to set game to eight times normal speed. Hit esc then click on controls.

Yeah I figured that. Yet does that make it not boring or just ridiculously difficult? The latter I think.

Also has anybody noticed a difference when you beef up your negotiation skill? There doesn't seem to be any free trade beyond the Quark "garbage scow" model.

I miss Privateer... or elite... or...

Have you tried my mod yet?

To be honest this game looks a little dated already even though it has just come out, especially compared to other games in similar genres such as Freelancer, which is itself considered an old game now. Somehow space flight in SF is limited to 2D and being the latest in the SE series it has STILL not moved away from the little box of SEIV... I mean why does my ship slows to 1/8 speed when it moves off the map?

Not yet junkie, but I do hold out hope that this gane will be endlessly playable some day thanks to great modding community.

BTW do phase sheilds block regular weapons too or just phase? I don't remember how it was in unmodded SE4.
