Hello reader,
Let me give a few more details on why I am making this thread and allow me to introduce myself.
To start with the second topic.
I'm a woman in her early thirties and have been chronically online since my house got dial-up back in the late 90's. I'm a rather relaxed person (oh what age does to us) who enjoys reading, philopshy and films. During my time on the net I've spent my years writing collaboratively works and role-played on forums till games like World of Warcraft and Star Wars the Old Republic took center stage for such fun. Those activities left my life as other things took center stage. But I do miss role-play.
The past years I've dabbled into Elite Dangerous here and there, but never committed myself as deeply as I would have liked to. Things in my life have changed and I find myself with time on my hands. Along with a craving. I've been browsing Inara and been inspired by people's logs, and come to realize there is a lot of potential to hang out with people in this game. Or at least, to write together and develop characters through little bars of text in the corner of the screen, voice calls and other communication. (I've had some wonderful conversations with people in game through the comms)
Which leads me to the second, and main topic of this thread.
I'm looking for a squadron, faction or just group of people who enjoy roleplaying. I'm imagining sharing captain logs, writing in character messages using the in game comms as if it were some kind of intergalactic ham-radio network, or perhaps hanging out in group Discord calls. Talking about adventures in space while using commander handles and giving glimpses into backstories of people who have spent their whole lives out there in the void.
Perhaps your group organises events? Group explorations, battles for domination in a region, or are a bunch of rogues trying to slice some credits out of a smaller colonies. "Keep an eye on the door, I am burning the lock, over." "Eyes on the horizon, I saw movement near that docking station. Let's blast those Federation scum." "Engines off, let's wait in darkness as that xeno slips by" "Did you scan that plant? Your data yesterday was useless" etc.
I am open for it all, and the setting doesn't matter too much to me. As long as roleplay is at the core of the experience. My character is new in this world, so it's easy for her to fit in anywhere. Maybe you ain't that heavy on roleplay in your group, but it's just a part of your community or a corner of it? That's also fine, I just love meeting people who enjoy exploring games this way.
I'm aware this is a bit of an ask from the internet, but I've come to learn there are many magical communities out here. So if you read this and think you know a place I may fit, feel free to respond in this thread, or even better, send me a direct message. No matter how long ago this post was flung into the web before you read this, I am sure I will want to hear from you.
Have a wonderful day and may we meet in space.
