I've played the game for a little while now, I've chose to be an explorer, it was fun for a short while but gets very repetitive. Thats a common trend with elite dangerous repetitiveness. The most frustrating thing in the game is your death, I ran out of fuel and died since I was unable to fuel scoop a purple star which is stupid. All stars run of a fusion reaction which is what is fed off of. Since I died for a stupid reason I lost hours of hard grinding in data. One death is all it takes to make you lose interest in the game
