Well I'm getting back into the swing of things, I think I know where I want to apply...but has Pennsylvania always been so dead? I might as well be playing single player.
It used to not be so dead when there was some mining in there. If I recall correctly there was very profitable mining in there. I believe the end result was an ever growing population in there of members that never seen anywhere like Bretonnia or Rheinland let alone Deep Omicrons. End result, Penn got mined dry and the population spread it's wings.
Welcome back to Disco btw. Probably been some changes with the rules and wars since you were last on, might want to brush up. :)
Try being an escort in Dublin, or 'lublin'. Hilarity will ensue in that system 90% of the time, and there will be miners wanting help.
Try not to trade straight off unless you've got the patience, or join a faction, as said above, find your play style on your own time and have fun. Just don't annoy the rule lawyers, or "lol-yers". They are gits.
After ur settled in i recommend joining a trading faction to start off with, theyr good to get back into things, and then move onto other things :yahoo:
Way to advertise Samura.. in any case, I'd advise escorting at first, then mining/trading and always remember that your IFF (Affilation/flashing rep on the rep sheet) and ID card, match, meaning be the same, and also you can only use weapons of the faction you have ID and IFF, oh and code weapons are expensive. :D
