    This may be a silly question, and maybe more so because of my casual playstyle 'cause I think I used glyphs someone else found like twice, but do people really enjoy picking up ships, multi-tools, companions, and all that stuff that other people have found? I kind of get it, like maybe you really want a gold exotic guppy or something. It’s just, the exotic I have now is the first one I found because it feels special that I found it. My living ship is the one that I happened to get on the planet I happened to be on at that stage of the quest. I feel attached to it. I just wouldn’t feel the same about a ship I got because I followed a set of instructions outside the game. That can’t be a rare position to take right? Maybe it is though. Maybe playing on Nintendo Switch where I don’t actually encounter other players makes things like trading glyphs feel like meta-gaming instead of running into someone who’s just saying “check out this cool thing I found!”

    Tracking down the exact color ship with whatever specific components in an S class doesn’t do it for me. My view may evolve over time, and I can see how being able to search up exactly what I want is almost something that almost has to exist in an infinite procedurally generated environment. It’s just not something I feel like I need ya’ know?

      Personally I use my own equipment for day-to-day use (although I did personally find two T-shaped supercharged slot Interceptors in the first week or two of that update 👽) and I use the top-of-the-line stuff for competitive PVP events.
