I returned with nothing and built a flying ship within a week of a few hours here and there. Not happy that I need to buy space fuel from the markets, but everything else was nano-craftable. Of course for a small ship (and I have experience building small ships which made it easier). If I wanted to haul ore (which I don't), then would need the market for the larger components (but with the $150K per day, even that is not a big deal). As a causal solo player, the only thing to do with to play around with various small ship designs and LUA scripts (assuming I want to avoid mining). At this point, thinking of just flying to the sun with the smallest ship I could make, even if it takes six+ months of flight.
