Hi, I've been playing Elite on and off since Beta. I'm on old school gamer (to many to mention) that played the Elite II: Frontier on a 486dx2 and couldn't pass up rekindling the great times I had back then. Don't get to play much with work, kids and a flailing golf game, but I do like to jump on for a few hours a week to unwind for RL. Honestly, I am about throw in the towel with Elite, Solo play is just not enough, but now that I have stumbled upon you guys it seems like there is good reason to stick around and see how things go (hoping Horizons is as good as it sounds).

A little bio: Born in UK, lived most of my life in South Africa (accent is now locked in), and I now live with my wife and kids in Houston Texas 8-).

Elite info: Currently trading in my Anaconda around Founders (Shinrarta Dezhra), but also enjoy jumping into my trusty fully loaded Vulture now and then for a little PvE pew pew. Look forward to getting to know some of you and enjoying a few winged sessions.

Welcome aboard, commander Panzer! :)

It sounds like you took the long route to get to Texas, and it's great to have another American in Mobius! My brother in-law lives in Houston, Sugarland to be exact. I live in Arizona...... no..... not in the pretty northern part..... but in the desert southern part. We love it here 8-9 months out of the year, and the weather is fantastic here in the winter!

Thanks for the welcome.

JohnLuke - we loving Houston, having lived in quite a few countries since leaving South Africa, and most recently moving to Houston from London UK (lived for 7 years), its safe to say regardless of how pretty the place, its just great to have sunshine. Also a reason for less gaming and more time on the golf course and the swimming pool. We looked at Sugarland but I ended up settling the family in The Woodlands, which we love.

Hope to catch you online soon...

Glad to hear that you like the Houston area. My brother in law has lived there for 20+ years and loves it. The humidity is WAY too high for me.... I prefer hot and dry. :)

Hope to see you in-game soon!

I sent you a couple of in-game chat messages on Sunday afternoon but didn't hear back from you. Maybe you were busy blowing up some pirates at the time. ;)
