This save has been started nearly 10 years ago. I love palm os and even used this very palm treo 650 to replace a broken galaxy note 2.

I continued this save like a week ago (a gnat a 20k credits) and proceeded to do every mission that I know of.

Traded a bunch, even used the termite to haul narcotics and flee police.
Finally bought a wasp.
Luckied out on the space warp event (a black hole saved my bacon) and got the singularity drive.
Used it to Speedrun the Gemulon alien invasion. Installed the compactor on my wasp.
Killed the dragonfly and installed its shield on my wasp.
Finally found effin professor Berger after encountering about 200 mantis.
Got the computer from the diplomat.
Visited every system.
Did the medicine run to Japori.
Killed the space monster of Acamar in two runs.
Got to buy the Utopia moon.

Killed about 50 pirates with the fully kitted wasp (and targeting computer) got competent rating, couldn’t be arsed to farm pirates at the risk of losing the best Wasp you could get, so I found the Utopia moon event, bought it and streamlined there. I just never went criminal, and avoided the merchant prince event. Also never encountered the scarab quest, but I wonder if the normal difficulty is to blame.

No deaths, no cheats, and sub 300 days (which surprised me)

Memorable moment : 45 narcotics run at +1800cr each, to a militarist system. Was a ride.

Nobody cares about a 20 years old game on a 15 years old dead platform, but here we are.

        I don’t know if this game is related but if you haven’t check out space traders RPG on Android. It’s made by the trese brothers and it’s amazing I’ve been playing it for years. They even have a sequel to it now which is much harder but the first one’s better I think.

            That’s too bad it’s a really fun game and sounds almost exactly like what you described. Surprised it doesn’t work on your phone it’s very minimal it’s mostly text based. Honestly any of their games are fantastic. The Trese Bros. Just look them up on Google Play store almost every one of their games is some sort of 4X or strategy. You generally have to pay for the full version of the game but there’s no ads even in the trial versions. They really set the bar in my opinion for mobile video games.
