I've been playing Discovery for a few months, but I thought I'd introduce myself, as I only recently signed up to the forums.
My main character's a Zoner known as Golm. You may have seen him meandering around Sirius in an Osprey MkII. Brief backstory, he was raised in Bretonia but the Gallic war made him a refugee. Now he has become something of a Zoner hero in the Border and Edge Worlds, even facing off with (or trying not to die to) mysterious Nomads and marauding renegade ships.
I've also created a number of other characters that you may have met out there:
CHAD_TRANSPORTS - Universal Shipping
Captain_Glom - Order
robotic_starship - AI
Charles_de_Glom - Gallic Freelancer
Watchful - Nomads - mysterious alien observer
I only played Freelancer for the first time 4-5-ish years ago, so I'm late to the party. I've been playing Elite Dangerous for several years, it's basically my main space game. A friend of mine (not sure if he's on the forums) recommended Discovery, so that's how I got here.
Nice! Another Zoner who understands the true threat that humanity faces. I have a very similar character to what you're roleplaying as. Feel free to meet up with me in game if you're ever around. Eventide or Mad-Hatter are his ships. I think it would be an interesting meeting!
Hello buddy! Charles_de_Glom looks like a fine Gallic Navy Candidate!
