I decided to post from time to time my impressions. As earlier agreed I played about two weeks now. Before I start to write things down I would like to mention that I am by no means a hardcore-gamer. I'm over 30, I do have a job, a women, some hobbies and it is good as that. That means I cant disco for hours every day...
BUT I'm a gamer. That means I played games since I was child. It started with Lego (I guess), then tabletops, later Computergames on my 286. I will always play and if it's just a few hours peer week. I just want to make sure you understand a little bit who is writing this and how much time was spent.
So here we go. My first few days. To be honest, I felt home in seconds. I just jumped in my ship and flew around. It was awesome! It is awesome. But I knew it is Disco so I went to the forum soon and tried to learn (re-learn) a lot. Some things changed (or I mixed them up and remembered things wrong), some things were new and some were just the same.
What I liked:
- Installation was easy and smooth.
- I installed swag-pack and the game just looks awesome.
- A new newbie-ship. Cool thing and for a guy like me (remember not too much time for gaming available) a good thing to achieve milestones way faster then in 4.84 or 4.85. Instead of endless mining the mission was over in one evening. Smooth.
- An Angel helped me big time with commands and chat-rules.
What I do not like so far:
- Sirius is way too big. Sometimes I was flying around for ages until someone accidentally dropped nearby and instead of RP it was often stuff like: "I'm on a trade-mission. No time."
- I decided to choose the "Colonial Republic" for my first serious RP-missions. I never did that before and I thought combined with the hole Gallic-Britain-Tau-setting that would ROCK! -But no it didn't. I play now for over 10 days and I NEVER ever found any CR. It is not that I'm searching and I know there is always the forum to establish contact but I thought It would happen sometime...come on...really? There is no interest in CR anymore? Sad...
-more comes soon- Game on!

Animated signatures are really annoying while reading posts.
But this is just my humble opinion.
