I think it was the way that exploration felt like a grind that made it so “meh”. A whole universe to explore, and you’re either going to come to a barren rock planet, or find the same enemy base/outpost 5 times in a row.
For a game where space exploration was one of the main selling points, it felt remarkably unlike exploring at times.
If you can't afford to pay for one of the raw materials required to make your product, then you don't deserve to have a business selling that product.

And even then on some of the more physics-y ones I just give Randall the benefit of the doubt that it’s funny.
Surely if you’re sending someone on a 3000 year journey, you’ve prepared for the possibility of making a faster ship in the time between them leaving and arriving at their destination!?
I’m more surprised they didn’t try to corner the thieving and grifting market for their own.
I think they’ve over corrected on the suits thing, wearing those tuxedos all the time is probably overkill.
A spokeswoman for Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) said that when Irish researchers collaborate with the US, the Irish side of the project is usually funded directly by SFI with the US picking up the tab for their side.

Oooh, imagine how good a bowl of next-day soup from the replicator would be the next day!
