Greetings everyone. Picked up Elite Dangerous about a week ago and am having a blast.

A bit about me:
Generally I dedicate myself to one game at a time and just throw myself into it (see WoW, circa 2004-2009). Playing a game that I've taken the time to know well is very relaxing to me, even when that game is throwing all kinds of stress at me. This really seems like the type of game to allow that. Getting things done with some detail and nuance.

I've never been big into PvP; I've always enjoyed playing against others in cards and board games much more. PvE has always been my thing. The AI in games generally offers enough spice to keep things interesting without the idea that somebody out there is painting a target on your back. If you plan properly you almost always win so any losses are your own fault (à la Dark Souls). NPCs also don't hold grudges.

I got in on the Morai CG last week and am now rocking a fat sack of cash (for a newbie) and I'm paying around with different ships and builds to find my comfort zone. Right now that seems like hauler/trader though the thought of a high-stakes data runner appeals to me (is that a thing?). I'm in a Type-6 right now and am contemplating my next upgrade.

Greetings and welcome to Mobius, Commander Tinwhisker.

Glad you were able to get a piece of the "over rewarded" CG last week. Man that paid well!

For trading, the T-6 will serve you well as you progress into larger ships. If you want to do some missions (including data delivery) you may want to look at something faster, such as a Cobra Mk3.

Please feel free to add your name to one of our 'In game friends lists'

and check out our TeamSpeak servers or Discord (voice and text chat) servers to easily chat with, and possibly wing up with other commanders.

Also, make sure to check the Policy page if you haven't already .

On top of all of that, we also have a Facebook group and Twitter feed.

There is a lot of great info on the message board, and we have compiled a long list of Tips and Tricks to help new players acclimatize to the game while having fun.

Finally, if you are interested in being involved, go here to see information about our player group faction, the Order of Mobius (based at Rafferty's Mobius station in the Azrael system). We have our own Order of Mobius Twitter feed.

Thanks for the Welcome!

Yeah, I hauled but as best I could with a Sidewinder/Cobra and made the 75% cut. That was seriously good money. Now I'm looking at at least 25% in the next commodities CG and 75% in the hunt CG just for futzing around with a couple NPC pirates on the way.

I'm going to look around the forums and see where I would like to get involved.

Great job on all of the recent CG's!
