    Endless sky follows the old and storied tradition where 90% of the game’s content is locked behind speaking to a specific random NPC near the starting town, and not giving any hints at all that you’re going the wrong way. You probably fell victim to that.

      They have specifically gotten better about adding in other opportunities especially for starting the

      No, I was following the human space campaign just fine (although maybe I didn’t go far enough along it for it to take me to alien space “naturally”).

      I’ve also picked up at least one non-randomly-generated quest from the

      Hai, namely, the one where you get the Anomalocaris.

      I’ve also made it

      through the Tangled Shroud to Avgi space, and maybe I’m legitimately on their main questline there (as I currently have a job marker for “Meet up with the Avgi Strike force at Navigeo Yards in the Symphony system” on my map)

      It’s just that those last two things I mentioned, especially the latter one, don’t feel all that fleshed out compared to the human campaign.

      I’ve wandered through the territories of a couple of other species, but they’re either hostile or I haven’t figured out how to talk to them yet.

        Oh you did! Indeed, you have to complete the human campaign all the way through (to the point that you get an epilogue) to even be able to start the 2nd largest storyline after the human things.
