You’ve kind of got to go out of your way to get “griefed” tbh, I largely fly solo and short of the occasional unexpected gatecamp or gank (the latter means you were doing something too risky in something expensive and somebody did the math) the biggest issue is in finding decent matchups that don’t end in a cyno dropping 20 redeemers on you
They’ve got Seth Dickinson as part of the writing team and literally everything I’ve read of his is fantastic, including game stuff and his novels and short stories, so I’m hopeful.
Freespace 2, and particularly the Freespace Open mod Blue Planet. Fantastic gameplay and the story/characters/mission design in the Blue Planet mod take a 90s game and make it better than most current ones.
