Hello! Long time ED player here, used to play entirely in Open until I started finding the non-stop griefer blockades a bit tiresome. I don't mind the odd risk of PvP, but there's a point where back to back interdictions followed by immediate destruction by overengineered doom ships whenever I enter a popular system stops being funny and just starts messing with my IRL plans for the evening.
Heard this was the best community out there so thought I'd give it a go. One of the main reasons I'm still playing is for the community, so I'm hoping to find that here.
