I've taken the plunge and pledged... decided to break the bank and go for the Cutlass Black after much hemming and hawing. The Origin 325s almost won me over, but eventually I decided I liked the flexibility of the larger cargo hold, the tractor beam, and the potential for a ride-along. Those Anniversary Blues, and the Reds also look sweet, but budgets being what they are, I went with what I felt I could afford.

I might look to join up with a crew or Corp. of some sort at some point. I don't think I want to be a full-time pirate, but I may skirt the line from time-to-time by smuggling or the like.

As everyone else is, I'm really looking forward to the persistent game, as well as Squad 42.
