Luke3107Hey Markus. There's not much I can say here that you can't pick up from YouTube videos or Twitch Streams. But perhaps the two or three things I can say are:
1. Don't fly what you can't afford to rebuy. (Some say don't fly what you can't afford to rebuy TWICE)
2. Don't feel obliged to do ANYTHING. Find what you enjoy, and look for tips on how to do that job effectively. But then don't feel like you have to stick to that job permanently.
3. If you end up on Xbox, I find it easier to teach on the go. My GT is the same as my username.
As for writing and/or RP. Many people, including myself, use the logbooks on this site to do their creative writing. There is also RP available, but full disclosure, there has been a widespread disagreement in the OOC section, so while I expect it will get back on track soon, it may be at least a few days before momentum picks up again. Feel free to browse the forums in the meantime nonetheless.
Stryker AunecaMarkus OmniHey y'all, name's mark! Im a bit new to the game but not so much as to the "universe" of the game (I've read a few of the books).. I don't have a computer or Xbox.. Yet. Lol.
But I found this site on my phone awhile back, and with my graduation day coming up (as in getting kicked out of the house) I realize that finding myself getting a computer and this game to play on a very real possibility. so woo!
I've watched so many YouTube videos of people role playing missions, using the vibe and.. yeah.. it's not even funny my desire to fly..
Anyways, to wrap it up, looking for nice people to give me tips regarding the game, maybe some pointers to keep in mind before I take flight. Also is there like a writing or role playing group somewhere here that I can join?
Practice is also a thing.
Elite is quite open ended, a sand box so to say. So try different things. Trading, exploration and combat. CQC is fast action fun.
If you end up with a PC, I am willing to help where I can.
As Luke said, don't fly what you cannot afford. (that means that you should have enough credits for a few insurance re-buys. I personally like to have at least 4.)
As for writing. The log book is a great way to go. People run the gamut with them, from keeping track of the systems they have visited to full blown fictional stories spanning multiple logs.
Role-play is on hiatus at the moment as things are being worked out. My suggestion is to go back through the threads and read up. If you have questions, feel free to ask in the OOC thread, or PM me.
Why thank you both, I'll the logbooks in mind! I'll steer clear of the role playing for the moment then, so they can solve, whatever it is.. perhaps think of a background story or something in the meantime. Though I do have a question, probably for Stryker here- what makes a story or background story good? I wouldn't presume that it'd involve staying in the cockpit 25/7, but I also not being born across the galaxy either (not based on the few books I've read anyhow. They make traveling sound a lot longer than for every jump, like an hour or two in regards to a couple of minutes ).
I'll take a look.
