Time consumption grinding problem
This game is almost perfect, everything I dreamed about in a Space sandbox game, but there is a huge problem with the time grinding, for the love of god improves the SETA system to have 2x,3x,5x, even 10x... The time consumption waiting for things to happen is too much insane...

I understand that the game is multithread, I saw some discussions that we don't have this because is hard to implement in this engine... But please for the love of god even with SETA it's insante to waiit thousands of real life hours to build things in this game!

you could go sploring in the 30 minutes it takes to build a module or ship....

SETA is only a hack and shouldn't be used on a regular basis. If you play the game you won't need it. E.g. start a station construction, play some missions, play some stories, check back on your station, assign ships, do other stuff ... You are doing a lot of stuff in parallel in mid-endgame, best to start training that right from the beginning.

That's also the reason why it isn't recommended to build huge stations - as the build times are piling up. Having multiple smaller stations will speed up construction and thus production.

use fling trainer (sped up option) will make the game run half FPS but 2x faster (trainer often halves the fps with speedups) combine this with seta and you have your 10x seta. i tried it its insane fast XD

SETA isn't needed in this game. In fact it wasn't in the original release until people complained. There is literally SO MUCH TO DO that if you find yourself waiting for stuff it is just a lack of imagination. Also SETA screws the economy horribly - so many things can happen between factions and with the Xenon while you're speeding up time. Highly recommend NOT using SETA, just go do stuff. I've literally never had any "grind" or waiting in this game in over 1000 hours of play.

Doubt the CPU could handle this.
