Anywho, Commander Aizria, here! Greetings from the other side of the Sagittarius Gap! ^.^
I'm pretty new in more ways than one! I've been playing Elite: Dangerous for close to a month and a half now, and I picked up Horizons just shy of a month ago. I started out playing exclusively in open play, as I love playing with others and making new friends online, however my experience with the meta-alloys CG changed how I played for a time. Originally, I was merely in Pleiades out of curiosity and in the interest of exploration and research into the then-newly-discovered barnacles, and when the CG was announced, I thought that I was lucky to already be in the area so that I could easily participate.
However, things were not to be so simple. I was taught a harsh lesson, more than once, at the hands of griefers in Maia. ;-; I then decided that my love of PvE, long my preferred style of gameplay in most games, outweighed my desire to play with others online, and I resolved to play primarily in solo and in my own private group rather than risk unwanted and unwarranted PvP interactions. Despite that, I was unhappy. I disliked feeling as though I had to give up one thing that I loved about this game in order to have the other.
Thankfully, I caught wind of this group, and I immediately sent in a join request, happy at the prospect of finally having the best of both worlds!
Having now been playing exclusively in the Mobius PvE group, and admittedly lurking around the forum here, since partway through my first serious exploration trip, about a week ago, I decided that it was about time that I introduced myself...lest I become an eternal lurker. XDSince joining, I have returned from my first trip, replaced my trusty Cobra with a DBX, and have recently been on a second exploration trip. I am currently, as I alluded to at the start of this post, beyond the Sagittarius Gap en route from the Trifid Nebula to NGC 6357, after which I plan to turn around, hitting several other locations of interest on my way back to the bubble and finally landing, for the first time may I add, in Azrael. :3 Currently, it looks as though I'll be back to civilization no later than the end of Sunday, and I hope to see some of you around during my planned break in inhabited space before I head back out of the bubble again! ^.^ If anyone is ever interested in winging up for activities in the bubble, or even exploration (because we all know how lonely it can get out there), feel free to drop me a line!
For anyone that has read through the entirety of this obnoxiously long post (I'm well aware that I'm prone to walls of text), many thanks for taking the time to do so! It takes me quite a while to type, proofread, and revise these massive tracts of text, so I'm always grateful for those who are willing to stomach such a read! ^.^'
In any case, whichever kind of person you are, whether you read through it all, or jumped to the end for a tl;dr, I hope to see you out there in the black! If you see me around, though probably a rarity, please feel free to hail me! ^w^
This is Commander Aizria, signing out, fly safe commanders! o7
