Hi, I have a problem. I'm quite lost in the possibilities the game offers. I would be glad if you could give me some advice on how to have fun in the game.

I currently have an ASP Explorer ship and 40 million credits. The problem is that I don't enjoy grinding. I can only manage to do the same monotonous activity for one evening at most. I tried mining and Route2Riches and very quickly got tired of it. When I run into a problem (for example, I don't know where to sell resources and the outposts in the search engine don't want them anymore) I get frustrated with the activity.

I would like to try combat. But when I searched for a combat build on ASPX, others in the comments said that this ship is not really suitable for combat and that it's better to make money and buy a better one. And that it's better to do engineering. So I found a guide to engineering. But for that I need a lot of raw material. But I can't seem to find a ASPX build for gathering materials. Could someone suggest me one please? I would be grateful.

Do you know any fun way to make money? I want to try PVE combat and later maybe PVP.

How about missions? Is it worth it to increase my reputation with a faction? I'd be glad for your tips. Thank you.
