Hi all
I'm a Brit who moved to the Michigan USA area 20 some years ago - work in the IT Industry, love all things sci-fi
I've had the nickname Poe since junior school (think 1st grade for my American friends)...so being able to use it in Elite was a bonus !
I started in Elite way back in '84 on my buddy's BBC, and subsequently on my own ZX Spectrum. Man I feel old typing that !
I played all of the follow ups (FE2, FFE) and dabbled with Oolite and 1337 over the years too.
I always loved the premise of the game, and was really excited when the whole Kickstarter effort emerged. I partipated in the Kickstarter and the Beta, and played for a while in the initial release, but work/family commitments meant I simply had no time to really enjoy it or progress very far.
Finally at a point where I have more time to play, so getting back into the game now. Never did enjoy PvP, even in games that seem to revolve around it (WoW, EQ, UO, AO, AC...been there, done them!) so finding a group that focuses primarily on PvE was a godsend !
I'm not a super combat type - I don't mind plinking away in my Viper, but I'm more into the trading/exploration type stuff. Usually I'll be trucking around in my Python moving boxes for cash
Feel free to add me and say Hi anytime !
Steve
