First off, thanks everyone for such a large PvE community existing. I was disheartened at first to learn that I was stuck with either Online with griefing everywhere, solo play, or small groups. This group is amazing since I can get the experience of many players online without the griefing.
A little about me. I'm brand new to E:D, and I purchased Horizons against the advice of pretty much every reviewer out there. While I agree that there's not much content to Horizons, I'm glad to be able to drop in on a planet just for the immersion and beauty factors. It has been worth it for me.
I'm currently settled in at LHS 3505 in my first Sidewinder working towards a Viper. I'm very into the bounty hunting thing for now, but I'd like to eventually experience all E:D has to offer (Yes, even mining). I'm a pretty social player, but currently lack a headset for proper use of TS.
If you're in my area, let me know. I'd be glad to fly with some people!
