Option 4: Put the game down for close to 2 years in the hope that the next patch may contain more content and/or content creation

There really isn't much to do once you get your own faction going and you don't have to worry about money/defense anymore.
You can take over the core worlds.

Do you guys ever get the feeling that music is rather distracting? Gaming is meant to be fun, but doing well in the game is still precision work, so for the best gaming performance you have to concentrate and not listen to anything.

It depends on the game. If you're playing a FPS, then obviously you won't be listening to music in the background. Many other games I just switch off the game music and play my own tracks.
I'm an EDM guy, so mostly progressive trance or drum and bass.

Does Tech-Mining even work? I've been mining on a world with vast ruins for a few years now and have gotten nothing.

SC was one of the biggest financial mistakes I've made in gaming. Luckily, I only dropped the lowest amount possible for a key -- $35 -- but all I got was a half-finished game that will likely never see the light of day.

LOL! You said 'half-finished'....So adorable!

General Discussion / Re: "Starbases"

Starbases in Stellaris aren't free. You have to send a construction ship to a system and build it. That takes time and a few minerals. They are used to 'plant the flag' claiming the system as your own. Without one, you can't colonize a planet, set up mining bases above other ones, or archeology. Loose the base and you loose the system and what's worse is if you built up that starbase, your going to face that exact same one when you try and take it back over, since starbases can't be destroyed in Stellaris.

I think the system here in Starsector is just fine. Find a system, found a colony and build everything around it. The problem lies with the fact that you have to babysit them because the Pirates are sending ridiculously strong fleets during raids and the raids happen very frequently. Even if you end up killing their base, it's only like 3 or 4 months before they start coming at you again. Then of course there is those path terrorist guys and the core worlds looking to put you down.

I get that it's supposed to be hard starting up your own empire, but I think toning down the pirate raids frequency (and maybe some fleet strength) would go a long way in solving some issues
