The drones completely take me out of the game. I thought the idea of the game was to be exploring planets that no one has ever seen before? Planets that are completely uninhabited. How is it that all 18 forgettillion of these planets have these floating space mondays around that get pissy when I mine or do anything remotely interesting? It's like they needed planetary hazards in the game but were too lazy to create interesting or threatening AI.
You are exploring planets for the human race, buddy.
Cyborgs, orcs, tiny lizard people and robots already beat you to the loving punch anyways but the human race knows nothing about the 18 forgettillion planets.
So does that make sense now? A highly evolved race of aliens that had like 3,000 more years of evolution over humans were able to explore all these planets and now humans are slowly catching up?
I think it's loving plausible.
