Greeting fellow Cmdrs,

I've been an Elite fanatic since Braben and Bell unleashed it on me as a teenager in 1984. Played it on so many platforms over the years, I've lost track...

Finally, last year I had built a rig mainly for photo editing and the penny dropped.... Elite Dangerous!!!!

Treated myself at Christmas and was hooked all over again.. Having done my reading I pretty much decided from the off that PvP wasn't really the place for me and came across Mobius on my Google travels and thought that sound more like it and joined in January.

Since then I've been busy getting back in the chair, managed to build a fleet of three ships and on the engineering/Credits grind.

Currently camped in the Diaguandri System at Ray Gateway.

I'm now getting more interested in the BGS and the deeper mechanics of the environment and would like to hook up with fellow Cmdrs to really begin this adventure in the Black...

Find me on Discord & INARA

Regards,
Cmdr Vanellus

Salute Cmdrs,

I first played Elite in 1984 on the BBC micro.

I bought Elite Dangerous 2 years ago , but as I was working overseas quite a bit I did not have much chance to play it. I retired a year ago and finally had a chance to really get into it.

I played mostly in Solo and built up my credits mostly on missions, upgrading ships when possible. Also I did the "Road to Riches" which enabled me to buy and 'A' rate my current ship and fully engineer it. I am slowly building my Combat rank with bounty hunting.

I applied to MOBIUS PVE EURASIA this afternoon and was accepted in less than 2 hours!

I have my home base in Shinrarta Dezhra [Jameson Memorial} as I can easily try new weapons/modules.

I am also on INARA.

See you in the black o7

Steve Lewis

Greetings from CMDR Lili von Shtüpp

Hi, this is Lili von Shtüpp reporting in. I joined the Eurasia and Factions groups and am currently training to do exploration. You may see me buzzing around in the No Turn Unstoned, at Type 6 kitted out for exploration.

Even if I expect to play mostly solo or with a family member who also joined, I appreciate having the option of encountering others. Without being frivolously ganked, I wish to add, I had enough of that in EVE back in the day.

I am happy to be here and wish you all safe travels.

You probably all think I’m a heathen for playing on PS4 lol, but that’s all I could afford at the time.

I picked it up last year and played for quite a while, grinding to get a type7 transporter, but then life happened and I only just picked it up again today.

After familiarising myself with the hotas controls again running trade for several hours decided I wanted to aim for sol.

My question is will I ever get there without a fuel scoop? If not I have turn back.

Iv never completely understood the navigation properly, and never really managed to get out of a fairly local collection of stars before I run out of fuel.

The last system I remember being in was Delphi

Any help would be greatly received

Many thanks

HI !
My real name is Bodo (No, I have no "Bagger" (excavator) *lol*). 53years old (yes I know, old man shouldn't play with computers, but I do).
I'm from Germany (Westerwald) , but I feel more like a real European with German roots.
So I apologize for my humpy English, I don't speak or write it often, so I need a little bit of training, because I need it in the future, when my profession changes in the way, I planned it.
In game my nick is like here in the forum "McLeoud" in a deep love for Scotland and the highlander movie's, you can call me "Mac".

I hope to meet someone of you out there and we may have fun with trading or missions or whatever.
I played Elite first on Amiga in it's best years. It was not the first game I played, but it made fun, especially because there was so much freedom in playing it. This "new" Elite (dangerous" I bought it last year on weekend sale or something of this funny selling actions of steam.
I liked it on the first sight, because of this beautiful graphics and the real good physics and immersion. The only two things I hate, was at first this really awful registration procedure. The second thing I hate, are those stupid idiots with there PVP ambitions. Why don't they do with themselves, instead of peaceful players like me, which only want to play the game and get only stress with pirates, thargoids or enemy factions (NPC). No, they blasted me more than three times right before the station first out of the space, than out of the game!
I had no motivation to do all this grinding to get a new (or more) ship once again. I have only one left, its a Keelback (I believe so, because I have been more than a year not in game, and have forgotten many things about it). And some parts stored in various places, I don't know, which I need or not. Need to check out.
A short time ago, I thought what is happened to this game, and have something changed to it, to make it more comfortable to players like me? So I reactivated it and looked into the news and some forums. And suddenly I found this group, which seems to think and feel the same about Idiots in games like me :) .
That was the ignition for me to try it again, in a private group of gamers, who like the game like I do it!
And so I joined you :) .
I hope, my friend Andreas (Piratte) will manage to join this group too, but for him this will be a real challenge, because his English is much more then rusty (more broken) :D . He thinks, that PVP is the core of the game, I don't think so, and I have tried often to explain this to him. I hope he accept this and follow me here in this group, even, if he doesn't write so much as me :). And as a friend, he will accept the rules of this group, so this should be no problem (even because he is more a trader and adventurer, than a fighter!).

I'm a big star trek fan (Picard a little bit more than Kirk), and that is the way I want to explore the universe in Elite!

So, live long and knusper (prosper) !
Greetings!

PS: It may take a little time, until I really get back into the game, because I have a (big) healthy problem with my fresh operated prostata, which could cause hard interruptions of gaming, so I have to wait until it's better. And I need to learn to fly my ship once again.

Nice to find a large group of like-minded commanders here. Am just about to break 1000 hours on Xbox one and I am looking forward to meeting some other players as the community in this game is so awesome. My GT is WITTYMOUSE13.
Fly safe out there.

Hi everyone!

Very new ED player here - literally just started playing the game after I got my Rift S VR HMD a week ago. Somehow I completely missed that this game existed up until now, and also did not expect at all for this game to have so much depth and various options and ways to play it. Loving it so far (I'm still in my first Sidewinder - just starting to farm some creds by doing missions... working on changing my ship soon).

I'm 50 yo guy from SoCal with a house, wife, three daughters, husky and a cat, and I work as Director of IT in a mid size firm. I've been into games since late 80s, and still enjoy all sorts of games to this day and have no desire to slow down.

Will be submitting my application to join Mobius group for ED - I really enjoy exploration and trade in this game, and even though Solo play is ok, I still want to encounter other friendly commanders once in a while - it's nice to know I'm not all alone out there :) Never liked PVP all the aggravation that can come with it... just want to explore ED universe peacefully with other like-minded people.

o7 CMDRs , Phoenix1992 here

Recently got into Elite : Dangerous because of some friends. Been playing since earlyish April and am part of a Squadron known as
Heaven's Judgment based in Urvane. This is where I spend most of my time hunting Pirates and handing in missions. I've bumped into a few CMDRs within the America group already , though I am not sure where people tend to hang out at , I do travel around the bubble from time to time , so chances are we will bump into eachother at some point.
