Jubei HimuraI second Tyrran's notion.
The universe don't care about you, me, or the damn people who think they're in high places. You 'n I ain't special. We just got lucky enough to get through the Pilot Federation's checks and tests, and they (in their infinite wisdom or stupidity) gave us our first private ship. We made the rest happen through the choices we made since sittin' in the chair.
But, like the man said, that only takes us so far.
OOC: I hope that we can have something to call home in the game. Be that an apartment in a station, to base building. But I still miss the days where players and player groups influenced the story. That really felt nice.
I call the station where I keep my fleet 'home'. Colonia Dream was my home for over three years before I moved a couple of systems over to Benzaiten and I have now made Bisley Landing my home. I am really happy with that.
