Not when it's just going back and forth on autopilot selling flowers for hours / days. That or being a bus driver is the most rewarding job ever.
I never use that in X4. It's either a quick ship or the teleporter. If I want to be somewhere in a big ship I send it on it's way, do something else, then just teleport to the bridge.
yeah, not a fan of grind. Dont mind it for a bit but if it stops you progressing then I lose interest. Backed up the save point before I made changes so I can go back to play vanilla but I am currently waiting for my army to be built and I am off to stomp around the badlands! lol
