Greetings WanderHome!
Thank you for allowing me to join your ranks. I am on day 7 of Star Citizen (actually I pledged years ago but it was too early on as at that point all that you can do was endless swarm). I am looking forward to getting to know many of you and becoming a resource here on the forums. At present I'm not a great contact in-game as I generally play on the coach sitting by my wife so voice chat is out until pretty late (she goes to bed an hour before I do). Hopefully that will change in the next year.... and once I get a bit further along I know I'll want to team up on things so I may have to carve out some time.
Anyway, I have a Nomad which means I've had to upgrade my power plant already (at present the standard load overheats with all systems on and just flying around) and I upgraded to a burst quantum drive. I've done package runs and some illicit trading so I'm right under $300k auec going into the last day of my first week. I've also cut down my in game deaths from 5 to just 1 each of the last two days (and I had help from a pirate on one of those). So I'm not unhappy with the first week... ok not true, I'm pissed that my lawyer "F"ed me and I had to spend an hour in prison -after- paying my fines but I learned to mine and not blow myself up so it was sort of a forced tutorial.
I have tons of questions and am starting to research a second ship but I'll do a lot of searching here and catching up before I start asking things you have already answered.
Best,
DeadStickDemon (aka DSD)
