Greetings Commanders!

My name is Sokonomi, and flying is my passion.
I do a little of almost everything, from trading to hunting bounties.
For these purposes I own an A rated vulture and a jump optimized (all D except FSD) T7 hauler.
I dont like blowing up fellow commanders for no good reason, I dont look for a fight nor do I want a fight.

My Allies are the Federation and the Empire, and I dont care for the Alliance.
My ranks are Combat Master, Trade Merchant, and Explorer Scout.
My current location is in or near Tarach Tor, doing trades in my T7.
My hunting vulture is stationned in Shinrarta Dezhra.

Ive been with Elite dangerous since Beta v3.0
I fly using an X55 HOTAS.

If any commanders out there are looking for an extra wingman, im up for anything.

See you in the black!
- CMDR Sokonomi, signing out.

Hey Miller, thanks for the welcome wagon! <o

I like my X55, though the fellas as saitek seem to have a real problem properly greasing these things.
I had to take mine apart to apply some synthetic grease because yaw was creaking like an interdiction.
Throttle was also a bit sticky out of the box but that seems to have cleared up a bit through use.
I have the lightest spring on my stick, too, I like it nice n limber (snickering intensifies).
The first one I recieved was a dud, the stick buttons stopped responding due to a fault in the manifold,
but they quickly replaced it free of charge so no worries I guess, shit happens.
Other than that, no regrets (other than sore fingers, somany buttons!!).

oh snap, I just bought the X55 stick only from ebay since I'm already happy with my CH throttle.
Now you scare me lol hopefully it won't be a dud...
