Try game. Fall into a basic gameplay loop and repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Played EVE Online for 8 years (and I never played it right)
Then played World of Warships for 2 or 3 years maybe?
And now Iāve been playing War Thunder for nearly 8 years
Iāve played other things, but I always fall back to my basic gameplay loop of the timeā¦ only one at a timeā¦ for years upon years. Doing the same thing in slightly different ways to acquire some reward. Like doing the same exact thing but in a different set of vehicles.
Itās not very sexy but keeps a company getting money from meā¦

The thing with SF combat ships is that we donāt really know if they will ever exist. War in space will be related to economy in space and that is a far stretch from now.
Navy ships grew larger in order to carry bigger guns which also meant they would be hit harder which meant they got extra armor, but that only worked for a few decades and nowadays neither guns nor armor are a thing in navy ships. āSea dominanceā is not much of a thing neither, compared to āair dominanceā, so, what will the future bring? Probably not combat spaceships.
SF ships make for cool stories, but as reality goes, so far thereās not even a credible reason to even have a spacefaring economy, let alone a reason to fight for āspace dominanceā, prevent an enemy from using space for their economy or against yours.
The cheapest metal is not the one you go and mine from an asteroid, rather the one you donāt use. And if you absolutely and completely must use metalā¦ at one point it might be cheaper to dig them from abandoned landfills rather than go to space and spend the horrendous amount of energy involved in moving through gravity wells. Maybe even just go and gather minerals from seawater might be cheaper than send stuff to space and back, accelerate it all the way to 11 km/s and then back to 0 just to begin withā¦ then even faster to change orbitsā¦ and why? Thereās nothing habitable out there. No place were our survival hasnāt to be pulled out from the jaws of death, continuously and forever.
Iā¦ I wonder whether space will ever be a place for Mankind. Itās there and we look at it, wonderingā¦ but, is the price right?
