Unpopular opinion: Considering the fully automated luxury space communism Bashir has spent his whole life in, this is actually an incredibly tone-deaf thing for him to say. (Which is in character for early-seasons' Bashir, TBH. c.f. his introduction to Kira in the pilot.)
The writers intended a moral objection to preventable human suffering, but actually wrote the 24th century equivalent of "let them eat cake".
Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one.
I'd like Weyoun right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Cardassia with all the other Cardies, and I want him brought right here! With a big ribbon on his head! I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-assed, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! HALLELUJAH! HOLY SHIT! Where's the hypospray?
It's enjoyable, but I've never been really engaged with it. There's no progression, I don't feel like my character, equipment, or ships are getting better even though I'm upgrading things. No planet is special, even though they're all unique.
I think it would be better if you started out in a "settled" region with interesting factions, hand-designed planets, optional quest lines, etc. The infinite procedurally generated stuff would come into play if you push beyond the edges of known space.
The modlog says for being a bot.
