So recently I've been busy finding things in some game,
a game noted for complexity and the learning curve. Much is different or the same since I last played, which was about a decade ago, and some changes are for the better, or worse.
The new player experience seems better, as in the olden times one had to put a mining laser and expanded cargoholds onto some frigate to try to collect enough resources to afford a better ship with better guns. These days, they hand out several ships and a bunch of in-game currency if you do a sort of extended tutorial (that you can do 12 times, if you like the repetition). Granted, back in the day I did not know where the trade hubs were, nor how to make money quickly. At least I now know where the trade hubs are.
Skill training is faster, especially if you pay for it, or to a lesser extent from doing various daily challenges. Actually knowing how to put those character skills to use, well, that's still something that has to be learned. Probably there are more guides and videos for this.
