An old Elite player now a Dangerous player

Hi guys, just thought I would say hello and introduce myself. I am a 44 year old gamer and hardware enthusiast and have been since I was roughly 12. I had Elite back on the C64 and lost many footballing hours (jumpers for goalposts) to that game and loved it. I wasn't a KS backer as I wasn't so much gaming then and more XOC with LN2 but that has kind of been put to the side and gaming has taken priority (much cheaper).

Anyways, I have been married for 21 years and have 2 great daughters. I work on a busy Port and get some decent downtime for some gaming. I have only ever stuck to chatting about ED on OcUK but time for me to join a group and expand the game a little. Horizons pre-ordered and super excited for that.

Have a good day Commanders and hope to see some of you in space soon :)

Welcome to the forums, Commander Gregster :)

I think you'll find plenty of like-minded peers here :D

Feel free to add your name to the In game friend list thread and check out our TeamSpeak 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.

We have a Facebook page as well! You know... if you're into that stuff.

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

Thanks and have now read the policy (very good and fair) and added my name to the in-game friends list. I have been playing for nearly a year but still learning, so I welcome tips :)
