This thread really isn't about me, but rather the power of narrative and community events. The return of Galnet and community goals tied into that narrative have brought me back into the game like I was in the early days, where I'm actually excited to play the game despite the fact that it's the same "mechanics" it has been all along (with a few new surprises, like megaships in a combat zone). This is even more impressive considering the timing, because I was fully invested in the new Microsoft Flight Simulator, hook line and sinker. Heck, I was almost begrudged when Galnet returned, as it was "distracting" me from my flight sim adventures, but the more I got involved in the CGs, the more I was sucked back into the ED world.
So the point of this thread is just to let Frontier know, "It worked!" Bringing back Galnet and CGs brought me back, and hopefully it brought other players back as well. I even bought some new paint that I would have otherwise not spent my Arx on, with more paint purchases on the way (Midnight Black, I'm looking at you). I also wanted a positive thread about CGs and Galnet, seeing so many people are complaining about piddly little things regarding the specific minutia of the last two CGs. I thoroughly enjoyed the rebooted CGs, warts and all, and I hope Frontier keeps them coming. Good job!

) but I'm afraid I still can't find any compelling reason to play ED.
