Thank you friends for a detailed reply! *exactly* how this is happening to me! I'm now lvl19 with my ship and two 'pets', starting to discover the HUGE world of crafting, tiers and crits and such. When I think I mapped an entire 'planet', I come back to discover dozens of multiple layers and floors of mazes. Amazing - it gets dipper as I go!

hello folks, Tho I per-ordered the game, I only just recently had time to finally sit down, play it and learn as much as I can. I truly begin to fall in love with this game, and I'm a veteran MMO player. To make a long story short, I started a Smuggler character and started leveling up. At one point I was sent out of the starting area ("ort something") to the big BIG area outside, with oh-so-many quests to do and to play. I almost forgot about the storyline quest to get my ship back..! Now the question is this: am I out of the starters area for good? Can I really begin to play now? Is this what the game looks like once you finish your tutorial? and most importantly - HOW do you know you've finished the tutorials? Thank you all, and my apologies for not remembering names correctly. The DB in this game is something beyond belief.. Thanks!
