Crossroads and retiring

Captain Ancalagon Posts: 34 4/2/2015	Hello I've managed to build a trade road and through it and some quest, I now have amassed nearly 8500 echoes. I have a townhouse, a few heirlooms and a scion. I've also explored almost all of the map. I'm still on the starter ship. I've competed some quests, but have a fair bit left to do. At this point I could: 1: keep trading to build more echoes so I can buy the cruiser: I can buy it now but I need more capital so I can equip it and start really trading once I have it - no point in having a huge cargo room if I can't even afford to fill it. It's also going to be a very slow ship. 2: Get the corvette so I can start blowing stuff up. The increased fuel and suply will probably make trading no longer worth it and I will need another source of income. I also won't be able to complete the venturer's quest due to lack of cargo room 3: Explore that tiny piece of map left and retire. I'm not sure what tells me when the "become the greatest explorer" has been achieved, but I must be close. But if I retire... I know a lot of veteran speak as if this is a natural thing to do, but what happens? What is a "good" time to retire?
