20·8 days agoUnpopular opinion: Considering the fully automated luxury space communism Bashir has spent his whole life in, this is actually an incredibly tone-deaf thing for him to say. (Which is in character for early-seasons’ Bashir, TBH. c.f. his introduction to Kira in the pilot.)
The writers intended a moral objection to preventable human suffering, but actually wrote the 24th century equivalent of “let them eat cake”.

Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one.
I’d like Weyoun right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Cardassia with all the other Cardies, and I want him brought right here! With a big ribbon on his head! I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-assed, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! HALLELUJAH! HOLY SHIT! Where’s the hypospray?

It’s enjoyable, but I’ve never been really engaged with it. There’s no progression, I don’t feel like my character, equipment, or ships are getting better even though I’m upgrading things. No planet is special, even though they’re all unique.
I think it would be better if you started out in a “settled” region with interesting factions, hand-designed planets, optional quest lines, etc. The infinite procedurally generated stuff would come into play if you push beyond the edges of known space.
That’s not what you said the first time you saw me!

Funny “Haha” or funny “Uh Oh”?

Fun fact: Danish fishermen who smuggled Jewish people from Nazi controlled Denmark would sprinkle a mixture of dried rabbit blood and cocaine in their boats. When Nazis searched the boats with dogs the blood attracted the dogs and the cocaine numbed their sense of smell.

Nice try, Javert.
