I played ED in 2016 for a while but stopped for some reason lost to time. I stumbled upon your Lore series on YouTube after looking at space-related videos, and they have sucked me in once more. A new account, a Sidewinder in tow and 1000 credits in the bank, and I headed off. Now, 2 weeks later, I'm sitting in a Vulture trying to determine how much more cash I need to buy a a kitted out Asp Explorer and start a futile search for the needle within an enormous stack of needles that is Raxxla. If I fall down this rabbit hole, I'm blaming you!

Thank you Drew, for bringing me back to this wonderful game.
