Last time I played in the free week, they gave you a light combat ship, The Arrow.
Or you know you could join a crew and man a turret until you can afford your own ship bought with in game credits.
Ah great, space labor for when my earth labor day is over and I really need to unwind.
I believe it's called playing the game.
When you start a racing game, do you start with the best cars unlocked or do you play the game to earn them? This is the same, you can do bounties by yourself with the arrow but it's going to take much longer than doing high level bounties or other missions as part of a crew.
Sure, but racing games simply gate your progression for gameplay purposes. Here I'm just working at a job to eventually be able to afford my own ship, and I already do that for a house in real life. The progression isn't gated by game mechanics, it's gated by landlordism and capitalism. If I wanted to work a space job I'd just go played eve.
