Hi folks,

I realise that this might be an unpopular position to take, but I'm just plain tired of blowing up other ships over and over again in every single space game that I buy. I love trading games, but the endless violence that seems inherent to them just gets tedious after a while. As a pacifist in real life, I would have liked the option to become a trader and just explore the entire universe without having to kill thousands of my fellow humans in order to do it. After reading the previews I thought this game might finally allow me the flexibility to just play happily in a game without killing folks. Sadly it seems that this game is little more than just the same old space opera shoot-em-up that has been released over and over for years. You can't advance unless you cause hundreds of (simulated) people to die.

Can anyone tell me if I can alter the game so that I can simply explore the whole universe, building my ship up, trading, and eluding pirates, without slaughtering anyone? Alternatively, is there a file I can download that will basically put me near the end of the game so that all areas are opened to me?

Thanks,

Beery.
