For that matter, there is nothing wrong with doing this the first time around.
I have very limited time to play, so I just edited the save file to give me a bunch of mercer spheres because collecting them isn’t what I want to be doing in the game, it’s building a factory.
Play the game how you want, the fun police won’t stop you.
If you want to see some wild cringe, check out the inauguration of the Weltraumkommando’s (then) new headquarters: https://youtu.be/xzsxN4HNrNw
An actual Major General of the actual military enters to the imperial march, flanked by Star Wars cosplayers, two of which stay in shot the whole time during his speech. Clearly, nobody told them that the guy in the black suit is the bad guy…
The official march of the space command starting the first bars of the Raumpatrouille theme is actually the least cringe in that entire showing.
