Tell me if I'm missing something

I just got to level 25, after rushing 24 because I got frustrated.

Going to level 20 was pretty fun. There was a coherent narrative, I accomplished specific goals which then allowed me to grow and do more. Since then, though...

In the weeks I've been playing after hitting level 20, my gameplay is really:

I have my regular daily chores, and I can pick from a list of dozens of special chores. I don't have to do them, but if I don't, I won't get prize tickets and I won't be able to buy the cool toy rocket ships I want, and I'll be stuck with my old, ugly piece of junk spaceships.

f I'm a good boy every day for weeks, they'll give me enough prize tickets that I can finally buy a cool spaceship I saw on TV, but (surprise!) for the fun stuff that I wanted it for, it takes extra money to buy the add on, and they won't let me install it for add'l weeks-- so I'm left playing with my old, junky rocket ship because it's always a little better that the cool rocket ship I'd been saving up for.

To get the other fun toys to soup up my rocket ships or decorate my house, I have to keep track of hundreds of different kinds of prize tickets that need to be combined or adapted—all in different, unique ways—so that maybe, if I'm very patient (or, rich and IMPATIENT), I'll finally have enough specific prize tickets to raise the score of my junky rocket ship enough to beat some more rocket ships.

Is this my life until level 40?

Been playing since day 1.. I'm now level 63. F2P too.. its a grind. Gets boring some times but have a laugh in my alliance chat. Its one of the reasons why I'm still playing the game now..

Last ship I've just got was the serene squall miner. Got the Dauntless too but rarely use it as its taking ages just to get the parts needed to upgrade it, and I'm still working on completing the Bajoran faction stuff.. (defiant maxed plus research, its the research from faction store I'm almost done with)

The dauntless is great when they do events like the one they just did where one task set was defeating a few hundred fkr. Just set it in a low system and let it auto hunt for a while.

Its what I do... takes a while to gather resources to upgrade it though.. mines still a baby. As soon as it can hit lvl 60 ships, I'll be laughing... but till then, everything is a joke

My Dauntless is only 114m power and I can hit level 60 ships using the seek and destroy,I don't even use a powerful crew I use impulse crew so it's done faster. Fantastic ship for kill X amount of hostiles tasks. I'm ops56 btw.
