Hullo. Complete newcomer to Elite here. Had an eye on the game for years but only recently picked it up on a Steam sale.
I have a few friends who I play with in open but we've had some less than stellar experiences with random commanders in the wild. Saw mention about Mobius on the Elite: Dangerous subreddit, had a read about the group and it seemed perfect for me. Combat is cool and all but by far the most enjoyment in the game for me comes from trading and exploring. Since I have no interest in looking for players to fight with, I'd prefer if there's no one coming after me either.
Maybe we'll bump into each other out there, hopefully not literally though. Cheers!
