Hey folks. Just started up with ED this week. Had enough fun just plinking around the first day or so that I even decided to get a HOTAS setup and it's made the game even better.
I'm still sort of figuring out what to do in game, but I managed to participate a bit in the latest CG and got a decent chunk of change to purchase and upgrade a Cobra. I figured it was a good ship to try out various play styles based on my reading around the interwebs.
So far it seems bounties are holding my interest most.
One question I had is: what systems are folks usually hanging out around? I got connected to the Discord server so I can ask there when I get only but I was just curious if there was an area that folks tend to congregate.
And another, which may be a dumb one is: Is there anything different about playing in a private group vs. open? Other than the folks in the group are more focused on PvE? Like, do Community Goals still happen in a private group? Is commodity data the same?
I look forward to getting know folks.
Thanks.
