I know that the only "story" of the game comes from missions, and only certain missions actually have much story. Do I have to build up to those in order to get them by doing the crappy missions, like delivering a guy two sectors away for a whopping 2200 Credits and such? Or will the more involving missions later pop up as I build my buildings and trade?

Thank you in advance for any help! I apologize if this was asked before as I couldn't find a good way to effectively search for this particular subject.

It has been an extremely long time since I've played X-Tension, but I'm roughly 99.99% sure completing random missions is not a prerequisite to doing the two or three interesting missions in the game. Iirc, the prereqs for those missions are more credit based, race rank based, or fight/trade rank based. X-Tension is chill - just do your thing
