I've settled into a pattern where I keep my skill queue filled. I do some light industry, and I do my hauling at night after she's asleep.
I do have these dreams of a glorious future where I and daddy's little scouting alt go traipsing through the vast reaches of space, but I don't know realistically how far off that future is (if ever).
Since this game has been around long enough for folks to have had families and children, I thought I'd ask the community:
Did you stick around through the early parts of childhood or did you take a break? If you stuck around, what did you find you were able to do to keep you interested and engaged? At what ages or developmental milestones were you able to expand the scope of your play? What did it entail? Did you ever introduce you kids to Eve? If so, at what age and with what restrictions?
Thanks in advance folks!
Took a break during pregnancy because... well because pregnant woman in the house. Consolidated 3 toons onto one account after the baby was born. I play while she eats on the kitchen PC. Sometimes I do industry on the living room TV while she plays (with toys in the living room, not Eve).
I do missions and industry for money, and have a stratios exploring on a 5 year mission. Even with only getting an hour here and an hour there and with high PLEX prices, it adds up quick. Then I can go play in a wormhole or low or null.
As far as my daughter (15 months) is concerned, I'm still on "restricted" game time. My son is 15, and was 10 when I started. He did not hinder me from playing nearly as much. Which leads in to the next question, I tried to get him to play it, but he does not want to. However, when he was 5 years old or so, I would play freelancer and give him a joystick and let him fire the missiles. I plan on doing the same with my daughter when she is old enough.
