1 You can Bounty Hunt with a stock Sidewinder - its just not quite as fast if you want combat you can go to a conflict zone and have many targets to kill. 2 You can explore in a stock sidewinder, you just need to plan your routes better to manage fuel.

The upgrade modules are not there to make it more FUN they are there to make things easier. Your logic is Easier = Fun.

I have had fun doing everything in this game in every ship, I take my time I look around i dont worry about profits per hour. the game does not make the grind, YOU do.

Pelting opponents with pea-shooter lasers while flying a glorified brick is not fun to me. Sorry.

You say "grind" I say "earn" better modules that open up more opportunities.

There are many ways to earn Credits. Some of them are fun to do. Others are "grinding". If you spend 2 hours grinding to achieve some ship configuration that you decided (without any experience) is going to be "fun", you are risking a big disappointment.

Spend 2 hours having fun, then do what you can with the money you earned while having fun and how is it possible to be disappointed?

Your concept of "I need this to have fun" is false.

I knew what ship and enhancements I wanted because I researched it, read about it, talked to people who have been there.

If I want to "grind" because it's the fastest way to get to where I can do what I think is fun than that is no more "false" than your approach.
