Please introduce yourself.

Hello Commanders!

Over the past couple of years, I must've spent hundreds (thousands?) of hours watching streams of Elite: Dangerous, viewed countless YouTube videos, read everything I could on Reddit, on the Frontier forums, here and elsewhere (including the manual several times)... all without owning the game.

That changed a couple of days ago, I finally treated myself, bought the game and Horizons - currently going through the training missions, setting up controller mappings, and all of that.

Despite all of that reading and 'preparation', there's nothing quite like wading in and getting started - and I'm excited and a little overwhelmed by what comes next.

Looking forward to tackling this with you guys - thanks for having me! o7

Howdy, I am Cmdr Spartan159 in game as well as here. I was introduced to this group by a friend, Rex Nebula. I played for a while about the time the game went to 1.0, then drifted away for a while. I recently decided to take another shot at flying, working on catching up. Almost all of my playing has been solo to date, flying co-op is totally new to me in ED.

I am 54 years old, retired and living in Florida

Hello Everyone!

Commander Name: Mathieus Harker
Real Name: John

I myself have always preferred PvE I enjoy exploring and just having fun without worrying about another human that had a bad day and wants to take it out on my character so to speak. From what I've been told everyone here is a swell bunch and I look forward to having fun playing the game with everyone. I live in the Eastern US time zone (GMT -5) my schedule is iffy at best most likely I won't be free Wednesday or Thursday nights and everyone other Saturday I'm busy with other events IRL.

Greetings Cmdrs,

I am a 60+ male SciFi writer in North Wales. Started playing Elite Dangerous on Xbox One a couple of months ago after buying it over a year ago. It sat in my collection for a year because to be honest I was having a great time in ESO. Then One Tamriel came along and it got crowded, especially in the former veteran zones. I found this broke both the challenge and sense of wonderment in what is an amazing world.

So time for a change in the amazing Galaxy of Elite Dangerous Core. I love exploring it, have made the trip to Saga* in a Cobra III (25ly jump range), as a detour returning from Colonia (no more long trips like that for a while methinks). Deep space in the game conveys solitude; and the fragility of life in a harsh environment is depicted really well throughout.

As a young teenager I was fascinated by 2001 A Space Odyssey; went to see it three times in a week while it was in the local cinema, also read the book multiple times. I felt huge empathy for the Bowman character, his isolation, the seemingly hopeless situation he faced, but still going on with his mission. It was that sense of space being so big, even within the solar system, and this human so isolated and alone in it that struck me most. The monolith representing something else other than us, and so mysterious, was the right approach (better in the film than the book, where Arthur C Clarke provided some explanation).

So I love the way this game keeps extra terrestrial life in the realm of mystery. Let's face it, advanced civilisations are measured on a scale of 1-3 and we are still at zero on that, except in our imaginations. And that's where our dreams of space will stay, I think, until there is a working theory of gravity - if we are ever allowed to find it.

Oh, and it would be nice to occasionally spot another player in game, maybe tag along in a wing. It's kind of lonely out there

Hi All
I'm new in game (couple of days playing mostly solo) and now I've heard of Mobius.
I do a litte research and i understand that is it!
I hate PvP - just want to explore, visit and getting more CR for a nice ship for mining I just want to play in peace
I played maby 30 min open (just courius) and get throw from hyper by a guy - during mission for 100k CR with slightly upgraded cobra-almost get a heart attack:P (100k and the ship is a bit horth to me )
but the guy only want that I hit his ship with mine - gently
idk what was that - he took me nothing - dont shoot me and after all just say "good bye and have a nice fly"-i was mega supprised
and to avoid such kind of situation I decide to join Mobius-so here I am (just waiting for accept ingame)
Wish You all safety fly and Happy New Year!! )
P.S english isn't my native language so sorry for misteake

Hey All!

Cmdr: Palmarian
Real Name: Rob

I have been playing E:D for about a year, but not very regularly. I'm too old to tolerate the drama of PvP, to play in PvE or solo most of the time.

Hope to meet some of you in-game so it's not so lonely out there in the black!.
