Hello there:
CMDR Lysrin here, checking in. Been playing in Mobius for a few weeks now I would say. Don't have a long standing history with the original Elite games, but have been waiting for a game like Elite: Dangerous for decades! Common refrain I know, but just thought I would add my voice to the chorus
Haven't accomplished a whole lot in game yet. Most recent achievement was finally getting my Asp Explorer. Did make the Hutton Run for the Hutton Mug CG. Been making credits lately from rares in my Type 6 (although I had to sell it to recover from an unfortunate incident with my Asp... long story) and am now fighting Emperor's Dawn in the latest CG... although I am not sure if I'm on the right side...
Still haven't picked a side in PowerPlay. Next on my list if I don't keep getting distracted by CGs would be some deep space exploration in the Asp or maybe some mining.
Why Mobius? Well I don't have an issue with PvP in general and I still play Open from time to time but I would much rather the multiplayer experience with others without the constant threat of being ground into space dust! Due to RL responsibilities I don't have tonnes of time to play so getting nailed by a bored griefer isn't attractive to me. If I get taken down by a player who is actually making their way through the galaxy as a pirate, that I can deal with! But the threat of the other kind of PvPer doesn't interest me. I did just recently get chewed up in a CZ by another Mobius player. All within the rules and I am cool with that... but they won't get me next time!
Thanks for creating this group, excellent idea and I am very pleased to be involved!
In RL I'm and software tech guy living in Nova Scotia, Canada, Atlantic timezone. Usually on later in the evening. Sometimes I have the option to be social, voice chat, etc. and other times my wife and I are sharing the study space, her reading and me gaming! I am also terrible at noticing chat when I am in combat so don't be offended if you message and I don't respond right away.
