So I've been thinking over the past week or so, SQ42 is going to be coming out relatively soon (I did say relatively) and when I start playing it my significant other is probably going to take more of an interest. It occurs to me that maybe I should have a game package that I can gift to her that would give her access to SQ42 and the PU with a decent ship if she does decide she wants to try it out. Now, we've been playing MMO's together since Star Wars Galaxies so she has at least some idea of what a sandbox game can be like. She'd be using a mouse and kb and is also used to tab targeting, so the gimbal assist should be of help as she gets used to having to actually target things. She is definitely not going to be crazy about the whole open pvp aspect, neither am I to be honest, but at least there will be safe systems so she'd probably spend a majority of time there. She currently plays a lot of Lord of the Rings so quests are an important aspect. Now, I haven't done any missions at all in the alpha but I assume they're your typical "go kill x number of baddies" or "go collect x and bring it back" type missions. I personally could be happy with a game session if I only had an hour or two and decided to spend it hauling cargo or mining. She usually maxes out her crafting professions in the games she plays but I don't think she'd want to get a ship where that is the primary focus of it's role. And ideally it would be something that she can handle by herself or with minimal NPC crew, she generally has a lot more free time then me so she'd be soloing a lot if she ends up liking the game. The question is, what game package (including ones that I might have to go to the grey market for) would be best for someone like that?
