My brain, slamming hands on the desk with Phoenix Wright music playing: "Your honour, I present evidence that the defendant is CLEARLY NOT CIS AND NEVER WAS."

Opting out of Google's WLAN geolocation mapping and network quality rating where they test your network and add it to a big database requires you to change your SSID to have a _nomap suffix.
(we did of course, eventually, and it's woefully anticlimactic, so I'm just ignoring reality and just assuming we'll never truly know)
so the most recent update to No Man's Sky is an excellent place to start playing if you like the social aspects of games - there's a new roadtrip-esque game mode where all players start on the same planet, and have to complete goals and win prizes while traveling to the finish line.
These goals you have to complete, when done in order, are basically a tutorial with pizzazz, and the rewards are usually items that make it so you don't ever need to grind - like, just *going* to a red star rewards you with tons of the metal you usually mine from red systems, so you don't have to land and mine, you can just pass through and check it off the list. So, you're spending all of your time actively playing the game and learning new systems.
And that leads to the best part - NMS has always been difficult to figure out the basics of, for a lot of people. Often all that works is someone explaining things in real time. In this mode, since everyone is following the same route, you'll be surrounded by other players who can help you. Chat reaches everyone in the same star system, so it's no trouble for them, either.
After this event is over, in two months, your Expedition mode profile will just turn into a regular mode profile, so you don't lose any of the awesome endgame stuff you earned when you start playing the game normally, and you'll be fully prepared.
If the reason you'd like NMS is the solitude and vastness, avoid this mode like the plague. But for social players this is perfect.

I figure okay, i'll just jump to the nearest station, refuel, reload, repair, and try again aaaandthis system has two stations miles apart and the nearest one does not have any facilities to reequip my ship or reload my weaponry . ...

re: Frameshifted (E:D minifics of me playing through it right now)
It's okay! I got loads of cash to pay the insurance on the Antilles. (my ship, the Cobra mk 3, because it's a big ol' Wedge. get it? ;D ) . I'll just fly right back there and toast their asses THIS time. There should only be two left anyway!
So I jump back in, aaaaaand four ships jump in. again.
Renalia: ಠ ̯ ಠ
Renalia: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I do my best but don't even kill ONE of them before I am at 2% hull. I manage to escape tho!
re: Frameshifted (E:D minifics of me playing through it right now)
Okay, okay, it's not so bad, I can take these guys, they're in Sidewinders and Eagles, it'll be fiiiineeeee.
"SHIELDS DOWN" "CAUTION: TAKING HULL DAMAGE"
Renalia: つ(´・ω ・` )
I manage to take out one.. then two ships! This is great!
Renalia: ヾ(  ̄▽)ゞ
Aaaand then my ship explodes because I had like 4% hull left after the second ship ate missile.
re: Frameshifted (E:D minifics of me playing through it right now)
Flying off there, I find the mission objective after a little searching around, and it's saying "Threat 2" ... A little suspicious, can't be THAT bad tho, surely. So I drop in, find a TON of salvage floating about...
Renalia: σ( ̄、 ̄=)・・・ ¯\\( ̄▽ ̄)/¯
Four ships jump in immediately upon me even getting CLOSE to one of the salvages.
Renalia: ∑( ゚Д゚);;;;;;
