What brought you to freelancer? Or who?

Been looking at space trading games ever since Elite on the old Spectrum 48k back in 1981 (Wireframe graphics in black & white). Played various games over the years and came to Freelancer about 10 years ago, found it for 99p in a charity shop. Loved the SP game, but didn't have internet back then and slung it in a cupboard after a while. Was clearing out the cupboard about 6 weeks ago and found it again, so I thought; "Hey, I used to like this. I wonder if it will work on Win7?"

It did, so I decided to look for mods to play online and after trying out 'The Next Generation' from Starfire decided to look at others. After trying Disco, decided to look no further.

I especially love the way it is not just a combat sim, that it caters to trading, exploring, mining, guilds, cooperative play, etc, etc.
Need I go on?
