So I just aquired a Saitek X-55 out of game, and upgraded from my original sidewinder to a hauler. I have been playing as a miner/courier to start until im more comfortable with the game and flight stick setup. So!, I'd like to find some people to play with that are cool with me being newish and asking a bunch of questions. Also if anyone else with the Saitek hotas wants to play I'd love more input on button mapping outside of the forum post.
I am on the eastern coast of the US (gmt -5) and would be available mostly in the evenings.
So yeah, let's do this! I wanna space with other spacers in space!
The Mercs of Mikunn are a 18 and up (open to exceptions) Elite Dangerous open play group that focuses on the background sim and colonization. As we bugtest in our area of focus, we have developed a light relationship with Frontier, and if you join we may ask you to help us stress test an existing game feature in this regard, but it is always optional. Our goal is to make the game better for everyone whether or not they join. Moreover, we openly publish all the information we discover about the background sim, so everyone benefits.
Also we are internally drama free (we have no control whether other groups sling drama at us unfortunately), and casual player friendly, in fact we prefer to have a sizable portion of casual players as it helps us stay drama free. We are composed of industry professionals in many fields from game designers, engineers, to rocket scientists. My background is in Electrical and Petroleum Engineering and I love writing. I play casually as well (I just bought a python), but if you have been following our progress or pay attention to Frontier’s forum, then you know we have accomplished more in colonization, expansion, and the background sim combined than any other group. I don’t forum or reddit casually though, guilty as charged.
Here are some choice features of our group but first our promo.
We try to avoid ranking systems as much as possible within the group. We don’t need to bark orders at our members as each know what their fellow mercenary fighting beside them will do, through communication and experience. Even pirates have commented on our organization when trying to disrupt our community goals.
In the first video contained within the link below, we interrupt a pirate who’s stealing from a trader, and the second video is us chasing him down, all from his point of view.
While most of what we do is playing around with the background simulator and environment, we play in open and are not afraid of defending our area when attacked. Take the previous videos where we hunt the notrious pirate Bangfish as an example.
Of all the groups, ours is the most experienced with the background sim and we share all our info on the subject on Frontier’s forum. In addition we control two systems, are currently taking a third, and are in the process of colonizing a fourth. Our station in our new colony will appear when 1.3 is released.
We are have a vibrant RP community in Frontier Forums found in The Black Hole in the Wall. In addition you can read our evolving story developed by player actions in the link below. If there
If we do manage to become a power play faction, we will be an underdog. There is no way around it as we are coming from the bottom up. Our strategy will be to expand outward into uncolonized space while standing back from the larger factions and defending our relatively small contact border with colonized space.
I hope you give us a look and join us in the Mikunn’iverse soon. Our main thread is linked below. Merc of Mikunn Master Thread
Our teamspeak is elithor.com and if there is a password it is “mikunn” (there probably isn’t a password on at the moment)

I am representing the Blikege Services group. Glad to see you have jumped straight into the game. We are a pretty casual group, but we have been meeting up rather regularly. One of our main goals is to help out new players in-game and those who join us as well. We are a very welcoming bunch who just basically enjoy playing the game. We do a bit of all the roles in-game, and so there is always someone that can help with some aspect of the universe. We have a good mix of players, with some in your time zone, but many of our European players don't seem to sleep they are often on during North American hours .
