I'm not even sure. Everything is low. I just need to play more

Don't worry about ranks.
Or the corvette or the cutter, you can safely forget them.

I have so far played with only two goals for any session I have started.
Let's fly some spaceships. And what fun can I do today?

It's worked so far, hasn't lost interest in the game.

People call me Bob.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

I'm in the same boat. I stopped playing shortly before Horizons; I've dipped in for an hour or three here and there since but haven't really touched planetary landings, and know nothing about engineers, or powerplay factions, or whatever. I log in to today's game and have basically no idea what's going on or even really what sorts of things I should be considering if I want to progress. Last time I played I was trying long-range smuggling missions (badly), before that it was trading, mostly rares as I worked my way up to my current ship.

I currently have an Asp Explorer fitted out like so, Midshipman/Master, and the princely sum of 11m in the bank.

If anyone has any advice or suggestions I'd be more than happy to hear them because the amount of change since I last played is a little overwhelming!

I'd suggest starting over - work your way up learning the new stuff.
That's what I plan to do after I see what's new with Season 3.
And I've only got a billion in the bank. :)
It's time to give this another go.

I must admit I have considered this, but even with my net worth being a mere 40m I'm not sure I could bear to do it! Doing it with 1b in the bank... you're a braver man than I!

If only multiple save slots were a thing....

I haven't done it yet! :roll:

As I recall, they had save slots in Oolite (old Elite knockoff). I used them, but only for backup, but I never went back! The one time I had a chance to use one, after the game screwed me (passenger mission, by the way), I just lost interest and stopped playing. That's kind of what's happening now, but I think a fresh start, with new content, will be just the ticket I need to get back into this game.

You might try passenger missions. It's working for me when I get tired of going pew pew!

My Asp exp is a great ship for sightseeing missions. One first class cabin only. I take one celebrity to 3-4 points of interest and back again. Avg $5 million a trip plus exploration data. Not too shabby...

Hope that helps! Good luck!
