Astrozak saying Hi all

[AstroZak]

Hey everyone.

I'm Cmdr AstroZak. Crazy space trucker flying a Type-7 at the moment, working towards a Type-9, then on to play ship Pokemon (Gotta have them all). I'm 39, so grew up on the original Elite, first on Spectrum but found that too hard, then on the PC, which was perfect much better. Played Elite: Frontier when that came out, but the hardware I had at the time made it next to impossible (long story) My current PC is completely different and this thing plays like a dream.

I prefer to play PvE, as I'm not into the whole confrontational thing about PvP isn't for me. I play games to relax. Co-op play is fun, but I don't like the high price of death in Elite - currently standing at about 5 million credits per ship - I don't like that some idiot could simply show up and destroy that, and have it take me hours to recover. I don't have a problem with PvP in a combat zone - that's part of the game, and going to war means possible death, of course I'd not take a Type-7 full of palladium into a battle - that's the difference.

I'm also looking into making a new Trading tool. I don't like any of the tools that I've seen so far.... so watch this space.
