Cmdr Lawson Thompson checking in

Postby Lawson Thompson » Wed Oct 14, 2015 4:31 am

Greetings, all. Lawson Thompson here.

Let's see, personal details:

Age: Old enough that I should have played the original Elite on my Commodore 64 in high school. Played Echelon instead!

Location (IRL): Earth, USA, Georgia, usually online 9p to midnight local time.

Elite Rank: "meh" with 7M+ banked, but I got a Viper and a Vulture now, which certainly makes up in defensive strength what I lack in dogfighting prowess.

Current Goal: Sol permit. Any tips on how to get one efficiently? Ranking up seems to be taking much longer than expected.

Favorite moment: On exploration run in an Adder, suddenly realized that the distant nebula I'd been aiming toward was completely filling my field of view.

I eventually dropped out of supercruise and throttled off, just to sit and stare a while. Ooh, shiny!

Trivia: Did some voiceover work for another space sim, http://www.FreeAllegiance.org when new training missions were added. Have been told I have a "radio voice".

Welcome to Mobius, commander Lawson! :)

I love it when you a nebula cloud sneaks up on you like that. ;)

Welcome to the group!
I got a Sol permit very early, pretty much after my first couple of Federal Navy missions, maybe I was just lucky.
I seem to have accumulated a few more that I don't remember seeing any notifications for - Beta Hydri, PLX 695 and Vega, I'll have to go and check them out, see what's special about them.....
Have fun out there! That's what I do.....
Been playing since Gamma, I've now got a little fleet of an exploration Asp, combat Vulture and my current (and maybe forever!) favourite, my armed trade Python. Oh, and about 35 million in the bank. Never done any grinding, just tried different aspects of the game as the fancy took me.....
P.S. Friend request to follow shortly....
