Hey everyone! I have applied to the Mobius PVE group (PC) and just waiting to be accepted. I started playing ED in the early Beta days and was a kickstarter backer. However I quit playing ED (and pretty much all games) in one of the earlier iterations. I came back to ED about 2-3 months ago after getting intrigued and disappointed with some of the "new" things of Star Citizen. I forgot how amazing this game is!
I do mostly exploration and trade, but over the past few weeks have really fell in love with passenger missions. More specifically I really like the "expedition" missions of taking a scientist ("famous explorer" which doesn't make since to me, but I rename it in my mind, lol) to study a body some distance away. My favorite ship is the Orca, but I do want to get a Beluga before long too.
I used to play only in Open, but got so tired of so many random gankers! I have no problem with pirates, if that is how they want to play it then by all means! I'll even play along and drop cargo sometimes. The ones that frustrated me were the inderdict and attempt to kill with zero communication, no RP, nothing, just "hey, lets kill this guy for the lols". I've been lucky in that I have only been killed twice in my Cobra (with no goods or data, just traveling from A->B) but have got very good at avoiding interdictions. After being followed and interdiction attempt 8 times traveling from California Nebula to Shinrata Dezra I got tired of it and have just been playing solo.
My current venture that I started just yesterday is the Guardians Ruins, which is how I found this group via this post: viewtopic.php?t=7179
I look forward to meeting you all at some point. See you in the black and fly safe! o7
