How to Get Back into Playing After a Long Break?

-

I used to be super into this game when it first came out during my university days, but my Xbox has been collecting dust for a while now. I haven’t played in ages, and I’m worried that all the updates have changed things too much for me to enjoy it again, especially since I don’t have any friends who play anymore. Any tips on how I can ease back into the game?

The basics are still there! Now when you visit an outpost, you’ll see giant tents, and once you buy your own ship, you can sell your loot there. They introduced an emissary system to help you earn extra cash and reputation, which adds a whole new layer to the game. Just be cautious of PvP modes, as other players can invade your server. And definitely check out any events with symbols in the sky; they lead to great loot!
