I also bought in to the game, but way back in 2017.

By strange coincidence I logged in today for the first time for nearly
2 years. When I first started 'playing' SC all you could do was walk
around a hangar and get inside your basic ship. 

I didn't even bother doing that today. I just wanted to renew my
password and leave it again. Probably until Squadron 42 is playable,
which is what I am really interested in.

The world may well end before that game is ready though.

How many billions years of life left in our Sun? I can't remember.
It's probably not enough time though to finish this game and get S42
released.
