Can't find my first post as they don't seem to go back that far, but here's the first thread I started: W@nkel engines in space, posted on 06/06/2014. (Hope this works - MB was so kind to edit the title for me back then as it was wrongly censored).
I think it might actually be my first post as well as I usually don't bother registering on games forums unless I start caring about a game. Funnily enough it's related to "Reverski", which still seems to be an issue today.

Here's mine: 16/2/2015
Is anyone out there using a laptop and what would you recommend ?
Hi Commanders,
I haven't bought Elite yet because I am saving for a new laptop to run it on, and I see no point attempting to run it on my 3 year old Toshiba with "Core i3" and "integrated graphics." I realize that most of you out in the void of space are likely to be running on high powered gaming PCs with separate boxes, keyboards and monitors, but what about laptops? Anyone out there running with a good laptop that they can recommend? Or is this a bad idea in the first place?
I bought an HP Omen 15 in the end - it works great. And thanks for the comments that got me going on this amazing journey into space [up]

Very first post was this one from November 2014 ...
This one a little bit later is kinda interesting seeing as how I just bought an Oculus about a month ago and a GTX 1080 this morning!
And finally, I think this is one of the very first threads that I started ...

Hi
I have been following this for a while (though i didnt sign up to the kickstarter I must admit).
I have been a huge fan of elite as far back as i can remember, playing on my mates BBC 32, though most of my time was ploughed into playing it on my amiga 500. I dont think I have ever been so excited about the launch of a game as I was waiting for Frontier to launch. Even now i remember drooling over the screen shots months before launch.
When it launched even my Amiga 1200 struggled a little with it (god knows what it must have been like on the A500!!), even though I was never a fan of the (albeit more accurate) combat mechanics of Frontier, I still liked the game enough to bin off my amiga and purchase a PC!.
Of course I was 1st inline to purchase first encounters (which was probably my 1st ever introduction to playing beta code DOH!!) I have since played many betas, though at least those I knew what i was getting into
If I remember rightly out of the box you were invincible on that game so buggy was it, however it was (mostly) patched and I still lost hrs in the hundreds too it.
Since then there have been many similar games - some of them very good (privateer 2 is a great game and I look forward to checking out Chris Roberts' Star Citizen as well), but none have captured that feeling of excitement of trying out your new lasers, blowing up a pirate and seeing what is is their cargo when you scoop it up. I have also sunk much time into oolite, a brilliant game esp when you consider it is fully fan made, however none of these games will be as good as I hope a new elite will be.
So thats a bit about me and Elite (sorry to go on
PS If E D supports the Oculus Rift it would make the OR a day 1 purchase for me when it officially launches (truth is I will get it anyway). Has there been any talk of supporting that?.
cheers
M.

And look who gave you a lovely welcome....
Back from 2013 post or during Kickstarter I can't remember! I became an Alpha backer when the first alpha dropped - I couldn't bear to miss out on the fun!
3 years ago...!
EDIT*** and of course T.j. gave me a welcome

My name is Chris, I'm 41 and this will be the my fourth Elite game.
(This feels like checking into an addiction clinic pre-addiction!)
Elite (BBC Model B Disk - 1985/6/7!)
Elite 2 (PC - made final uni exams more difficult)
Frontier First Encounters (PC - stuck with it through the bugs)
Elite
30 years since first shuttling Food and Computers between Feudal and Corporate Worlds, it's getting close to the time to pass it on to my son.
In the meantime I've played all of the X series and am disappointed (like many) with X-Rebirth. Such a waste of a good engine. Anyways, looking forward to the spring and meeting up with many of you in game - although my preference, certainly at this stage, will be to avoid any PvP stuff.
BTW, How do I get access to the Private Backers forum? I pledged 90 quid on Kickstarter back in January and haven't got round to checking it out! Kids eh?

From 04/12/2014. I am shocked, shocked to find my first post was complaining about the economy being busted.
Since I use ed:db for everything now I don't know if this sort of nonsense still goes on but it wouldn't surprise me. Also 90k cr per trip? I wouldn't even bother undocking for that now, lol.

I can't seem to find any of my posts before September 2016
I tried that link to search for them but all it gave me was this statement:
"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

Is my entire past existence on the forums being secretly wiped as I go forward ala some kind of Langoliers effect? [cry]

Hello there. Just so we get this out in the open, I am not a spam bot. And yes, that's probably what a spam bot would say to avoid suspicion and infiltrate human 'cyber' space but would a spam bot do THIS!
............
Exactly. A spam bot would be spamming for all it was worth by now, not posting the dot, dot, dot of silence. Okay, now that we've cleared that up a little info about me:
CMDR Ronin Vakris at your service. I've been playing Elite Dangerous for a little under a month now but I've been keeping an eye on this game ever since I heard about it (which was during it's initial Beta release). Finally decided to throw my lot in when Horizons was announced.
About Me
I like long walks on the Moon - ok, not that type of about me. PC gamer, Former X-wing Alliance and Freelancer player and fan who fell in love with the open world space sim genre right there and then and is very happy to finally have the space sim back on the map!
Currently flying an Adder like a leaf on the wind and loving this tough, agile little ship that I've lovingly upgraded. Feels like a smaller version of the Millenium Falcon, or actually Dash Rendar's Outrider
Looking forward to engaging with the Frontier devs and my fellow forum goers on here and out in the big black.

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
