Every now and then the RNG nature of the game just pisses me off. Like, I had a 10 slot multi-tool with 3 s-class scanner upgrades. I managed to score those 3 upgrades in the first 6 systems I visited. I upgraded to a 23 slot multi-tool today because, come on, of course I'm going to, and I've warped to 10+ systems today; only 2 s-class scanner upgrades. And my previous tool was +9600, +9100, +6800. My new tool has +6300 and +6100. That is supremely fucking frustrating! I'm not hurting for cash so much as for nanites, so scanning everything is a huge boost regardless, but I wouldn't mind slightly more consistency. I mean, the difference between +6000 and +9999 is over a third; that's a lot of disparity in "gold standard" upgrades. Granted, this tool is also only temporary because it's "only" a 23-slot A-class, and a 24-slot S class is obviously better, but still.
I've entered the phase of the game where I'm warping between systems without exploring basically anything. I still haven't actually started the base-building quests! I probably should focus on that more than my multi-tool. But shit, I was getting so complacent earning millions of units for 3 minutes of scanning on any random planet. That's way more fun than a farming or crafting loop.
