I am extremely new to ED - just got the base game on the 19th after years of wishing I could play, and I have thus far been thoroughly excited with every moment! (A friend seems very intent on purchasing Horizons for me tomorrow...?) I jumped right in without the foggiest clue of what exactly I was getting into, and after spending about 20 minutes fiddling with controls until I had a setup I could tolerate for more than thirty seconds, I've been zipping around in solo without any problems at all.
However, I have an extremely small social circle, and only turned up two people who were willing and able to fly with me, so I figured I'd step out of my comfort zone a bit to meet-n-greet some friendly faces who aren't out there to get their laughs at my expense.
I haven't really settled into a "role", exactly, considering I'm kinda wanting to give a go at everything whenever it strikes my fancy, but I do have some odd goals to chase after. Right now I'm working on the bounty hunting part of the Vadimo CG, but after that I have a sort of laundry list of things I want to do.
1: Try and dig around at Guardian sites to see if I can't turn up something new.
2: Venture out to the Lagoon Nebula and do some dense exploration and mapping.
3: Try assisting in the repairs of Pleiades stations, just to see if such efforts mean anything at all.
4: Establish a sort of "headquarters" for myself and any friendly peeps I come across during my journeying - already have an unoccupied spot picked out, too.
At some point during and throughout all of that, I think I kinda want to do a small bit of roleplay-writing or some such, and I'll likely post such things into my logbooks on Inara and EDSM.
Please feel free to add me ingame - CMDR Kitaen Silva - or even pop on over to my discord, Weavers' Aggregate NeoAuditorium; which, while it's unrelated to ED, is a fairly nice little general-purpose group oriented around helping yourself and your peers with hobbies and general goals, practicing your content creation skills and sharing them with friends, having access to a slowly-growing compendium of resources and such for a variety of hobbies... and a lot of dedicated space for roleplay and/or general writing.
I'll hop into the Mobius discord if I'm accepted into Mobius PVE America, so that I can meet fellow commanders and more easily coordinate with friendly faces - though I'm a generally quiet and reserved sort of person, so I apologize in advance.
Please be kind to me, and may the dark be kind to us all~!
