Came back to play after giving it a break for months, lost everything to an elite python in a normal trade run. I quit.

Seriously? ':):):):):):)' is considered a swear-word? Wow.
You'll be surprised what's considered a swear word on this forum. Words which I (and many other people) use in every day speech are not allowed on here, it honestly feels like they believe the average forum users age is a little over 12 years - like when my father would tell me not to swear (when I was 17) for saying "damn" or "bloody hell."

So i decided to check out elite again with the Horizons expansion on the rise. I left off in my fresh type 7 and I was building my funds back up to get on the roll with my trade routes again.------snip-----


* EDIT IN CASE PEOPLE MISS THIS FURTHER DOWN *

Hey commanders, OP here. Sorry it took me so long to reply to my ragerant. I had to get the mod to reopen it back up because I wanted to sort of apologize and also say thanks to those who gave very positive/informative replies about what I could have done better, and what has changed about the game since I last played. It is obvious I am not active on these forums and it looks like I signed up just ragequit.

Admittedly, I am quite embarassed that that is true >.<

I will also admit, that in my rage I left out the fact at how epic the experience actually was. I've cooled my jets and realized that my body was shaking and I felt a level of fear that I typically don't feel in games. As maddening as the experience was, and unfortunate (despite being cocky with my new toy), it was a good story to tell my friends about the next day. I also realized I miscalculated how much of a loss I was really taking.


Soooo!!! Thank you those who gave good replies, because you must be a good kind of person to offer a bit of yourself to someone who very obviously was rage-quitting. That says a lot about you, and something about the community too.


So my form of repayment for being a crybaby about it, and to respect those good peoples out there in this dangerous galaxy, I am already, and will be giving the game another chance with a more objective mindset. I have already taken this opportunity to trade my type 7 in to pay off my claim, and bought a cobra, completely kitted it out, and I still sit on about 6.5 mil.... rebuy is about 500k i think? I've opted out of powerplay for now until I can understand it better, and I will be dabbling about the galaxy doing whatever seems good at the time until I find a something more permanent thing to do.

And yes... I will probably still get horizons because im a sucker for planetary landings <3


Ok commander, you are now ready to play in the big boys league, Elite is not a casual game, it doesn't hold your hand and space is a dangerous place.
welcome back.
