It's literally my first day here. I apologize for any stupidity on my part in advance.

So, a few days ago I was playing Elite: Dangerous and wished for a more dynamic economy. I created a forum post describing it all and... it wasn't well received by that crowd. It's not in their design. I did a little homework and found out Star Citizen has the exact economy that I was asking them to put in that game! Small universe... So, now I wait for it to be released!

A little about me: I grew up on games like Privateer and Freelancer and Protostar (so on and so forth... and I still play them) so I was super excited when I heard about Star Citizen, however I was super skeptical as well (yes, I was that guy). They had (and still have) a huge vision and I was afraid they were biting off more than they could chew. Chris Roberts and crew have clearly changed my mind.

I always opted to be the trader/merchant - the cowboy truckin' the 'verse and dodging the pirates - but this lead to games sputtering out because there really was no point other than to collect credits to an infinite amount. However, I truly believe the economy in SC will change this for all citizens like me. We can actually affect how things operate in the universe, and we don't have to hop in a fighter to do it!

Anyway, I opted for the RSI Aurora MR package because I wanted to start from the bottom and work my way to the top, just like you did in the old games. I know I'll hit more than a few roadblocks along the way, but I welcome them all and I can't wait to see and catch up with all the changes coming to SC! Even though I enjoy ridin' solo, I hope I'll be able to get to know some of you in return and maybe we'll be able to fly together!
