I've not really played online multiplayer games before so ED is pretty much the first one I've played. When I have played LAN games I have always enjoyed co-operative play so much more than versus and enjoy working as part of a team. Got hit a few times leaving stations in the Premium Beta and Beta 1, no warning and pretty much always from behind so had no real chance to retaliate and really did not enjoy it and dislike non consensual PvP.
The idea of being able to avoid this but still play the game with other players appeals to me and from reading the thread on the ED forum everyone sounds decent.
I'm a big Sci-Fi fan and grew up wanting to be a X-Wing fighter pilot lol so the space sim genre is one that really appeals to me as it's the closest I'll get to fulfilling that child hood dream
Played the X-Wing games, Wing Commander series and Frontier (Amiga version), so the recent renaissance of the genre has been very welcome to me as I'd been moaning about the lack of these type of games for quite some time.I live in Nottingham UK and work for a certain large electronic retailer doing second level tech support with multiple secondments to the training department there. In my free time I like drumming (played in a couple of bands but not in any currently), landscape photography, computing, reading and watching TV & films.
I look forward to getting to know you all better and hope we have some fun times in game.
See you all in the black.
