50/50. If I just want to have some quick fun I've got a save with console commands and non ironman galor. If I want to actually have a sense of accomplishment rather than just enjoying the wonderful combat mechanics I fly some Ironman.
I love this new update though I will admit I cheated to get some levels early on as starting out at level 1 for about the millionth time just gets old! I love the new officers and how you can have allies in battle it really makes it feel more epic on the occasion that I find a big battle or a big battle finds me but I am frequently annoyed by how empty the world feels at times. With such small sensor range everything feels empty.
I hope there will be some sort of warning that pops up such as If you activate your transponder now your relationship with the Hegemony will be hostile are you sure you want to do this?
It'd really suck to raid a food convoy think you got off and reactivate the transponder only to discover now you're hostile to the hegemony because there was a hound you didn't detect.
