Louis1970ZEN IndustriesHi all... my name is Zen and I'm addicted.
I returned to Elite after... Well about 35 years (yeah it's not typo... thirty five), last December. I did bought this version of game in 2015... But was afraid to start playing it till I retired last year, knowing how I was addicted to Elite from 1984-1986.
So I was right... Addicted to the bone, even tried to quit when they released Odyssey alpha in May telling myself now they ruined game... but... I was lying myself and returned in August.
Yeah this sound like those "helping" sessions for addicted people
35 years after... *amused grin* I had it on my c64 back then...
Have fun!

Like many others here, I'm a recovering ED addict - Got my first taste in 1984, and jumped back-in in 2019. Not too impressed with Odyssey, but have way too many hours invested to give up now.
I'm planning a trip to Colonia tomorrow - FARS Galactica (KHJ-81B) will be departing from FATES for long stay in the Colonia region at approximately noon Eastern time (GMT-5) / 1600h Game time)
Feel free to transfer any ships onboard if you want to join. We'll be in Colonia for an extended period of time (one month or more)

Though I am playing since 2015 yet never joined a community before. Playing solo all the time.
I Hope, now ED journey will be more interesting as I am now part of an active community.

CMDR XRINHi, all CMDR.

I Hope, now ED journey will be more interesting as I am now part of an active community.
Welcome! I hope you enjoy the ED journey in this community as well! My personal experience has been that ED has one of the best communities surrounding any game I have ever played. I hope your experiences with it are as positive as mine were! Personally I have fallen out of playing for the time being but I still stick around just because I enjoy the community so much!

ich spiele erst seit ein paar Wochen ED. Das ist mein erstes Sandbox MMO und bin seit langem mal sowas von tiefenentspannt beim Zocken wie hier im ED Universum.
Ich war die letzten 10 Jahre im Star Wars Universum unterwegs.
Mal sehen was noch kommt.
Ich bin bereit^^.

Willkommen!
Das Spiel kann tiefenentspannt sein... vor allem wenn Du ein paar Lichtjahre weiter raus fliegst...
Allerdings wirst hier die englische Sprache verwenden müssen, wenn Du am Communityleben teilnehmen willst...

I'm fairly new to this incarnation of Elite (Elite Dangerous Horizons) having started only about a month ago. I played the original Elite for awhile back in the 80s. So far, I'm really enjoying it. I'm amazed at the depth and realism of the game. I love how truly open the game is. At this point I mostly enjoy the solitary life of an Explorer; just going wherever I feel like, mapping planets or landing and driving around in my SRV. I can do missions if I want; or not, whatever.
I also really like this site. It's great that it is a resource, a community and a fan site all rolled up in one.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say "Hi."
One other thing, I've noticed that many people use the shorthand "o7" as an apparent greeting. I'm unfamiliar with that. What does it mean?
Thanks, and perhaps I'll see you out there.

Silver TafferAs of update 8 for Odyssey you can give a proper salute - although it seems disturbingly similar to Arnold Rimmer’s salute in Red Dwarf
I would definitely call that a proper salute!
