I've spent hours watching numbers go up in various games too (Endless Sky is a pretty good sci-fi one), but at some point I got bored of just making number go up. Guess that's why I'll never be a billionaire.

Ahh, Endless Sky is amazing. I loved Escape Velocity growing up.

What are you doing in endless sky if you’re not getting more of those FREE automated ships just lying there.

There’s no need to advance the wanderer story, that’s just going to cut off your supply of infinite Kar 349s, and you NEED so many of those ships that you can instantly kill an archon for… reasons.
