I've been playing it since a bit after release, mostly doing trading. Combat isn't really my thing even if I've started to try it out a bit (I suspect my "mostly harmless" rank is fully deserved. :P
I'm focusing on trading in my Type-7 to get my asp back so i can do some exploring again. Feel free to add me ingame, the username is NorTig
I Find that Elite is an excellent pastime, but a bit disappointed that there isn't better options for playing together as a group yet. (coming early March)
Still had quite a bit of fun playing with Peacm and helping eachother out. (Boosting him, getting help back when I FUBAR'ed my first Asp.)
I think Zero Punctuation said it well:
I enjoy E:D, but I am a bit weird :P
