Dunno, but Welcome to the community, have fun, ignore the trolls.
Good luck after your launch from Erie, maybe we meet in-game at some point.
Make money, be succsessfull, be a nice player.
I am not gonna promote my own faction I will just say, join factions when you feel like it. For example when I started it helped me alot. I even got kicked from my first two factions, HF and LR- because I was honestly a total lolwut not mentioning that my english was much much worse that time (if you wonder go check my first posts on this forums). However then I joined the Xeno Alliance and it was the best damn choice in my time here on Disco. That guys didn't kick me when I screwed but explained and taught me many great things, I've had only the best times with them. Personal RP chars came much much later.
