Firstly (before the flaming starts) i know ED is a game on not reality.

I was just wondering what is everybody's plans.

For me, it's first trade around the core systems (Mostly likely empire) until I've amassed enough credits and experience to start the TobyTyke-Grand-Tour.

What? What do you know?!?

Eh... I mean...

I'm going to take the federal trader option, cruise around core federation systems a bit, have a look around, grab a beer, get to know some people, make some cash, buy some gear, ... then... head out and find riches or trouble...

I might start at the founder system for a look around first. But with all the start choices it's going to be difficult to choose what to do ;)

Heresy! But continue... :)

I haven't decided no Federation or Alliance myself. I like the idea of being Ronin as it were and joining any particular group would ruin my image! Alliance would be the closest I think. Although just because you spawn in their space doesn't mean they have your allegiance...

Probably end up doing what I used to do on Elite, trade, build my ship up then start looking for trouble. Although may be more fun to have options other than piracy.

Same here probably. But it depends on what starting ship I take in reality. If I go for the old school 100 credit start I will probably end up doing jobs, taking this person here or this package there, as the sidewinder won't have enough space to make trading viable for even the mid-term, unless you are smuggling illegal stuff! Come to think of it, that is one of the things I am looking forward to: the new BBS!

Pick a direction and explore/trade/mine from the edge of known space. If it's not profitable enough then maybe creep back into less unknown space.

Maybe a separate commander to fly with friends. Who knows where that might end up?

Personally, I'm hoping that courier missions (preferably timed) will still be in the game, so that I'll go places in the galaxy I'd probably never visit on my own. I really enjoyed those in Frontier: Elite II.

For the first month I experiment with a variety of activities: piracy, mining,
work on behalf, transport of people, participation in events, etc.

After that I start tradeing in a Federal border system. Trade will be my main occupation. Make credits. Gaining bigger ship with greater cargo hold.

Ruins, assuming planetary ones, wouldn't be around for quite some time, unless you mean orbiting ones. And alien ones have merely been hinted at, and in hushed tones. Don't expect any of this at release though.

Ohh I hope for such content when planetary landings will come, but right now I would be happy with ship grave yards or the like ( I vaguely remember a video where a a cobra or sidewinder circles a derelict ship, illuminating it with it's lights and get's ambushed from an anaconda with some escort fighters) :smilie:

Sit down with a cup of coffee, some cookies and just take a nice slow flight around whatever system ill begin in. Just to take in the view and atmosphere!

Then of to whatever trouble I can find!
