I have some non-starter ships, but I still plan on starting out in an Aurora or 315p and go through the game. I've learned my lesson over the years that cheat codes only cheat me out of the experience of playing through the game. As you mentioned, getting bored because you've already got everything is the end result.

The vibe I got from the presentation was... "plan b" and it didn't feel as rehearsed as the demo they did last month. I'm still not concerned about the end result because what they're showing, IMO, seems pretty cool. As they've stated many times, once they have S42 in the can, those resources can start working on other things (ships was yesterday's reference), so I'm looking forward to that.

I've got plenty of other stuff to keep me busy while I wait and I'm hoping I don't fall into Chucky's boat of being carted off to the 'Old Dude's Home', but who knows, that may work out... I'm thinking Big-Ass LAN Party once he sets up shop there.
