Same here - Sidewinder and 100 creds. I like FD offers but more I think about it more I am convinced that I want to start bare bones from beginning.
 
Presuming that we can have more than one commander, I'll be starting as an Independent Trader and an Explorer. Not sure which one first.

Of course, when it comes to it I'll probably get carried away and end up playing as something entirely different.
 
Originally I thought I'd go with the leg up - on the grounds that I served my apprenticeship on the original Elite - but the more I think about the more I like the idea of the basic start..
 
I've seen enough of that Sidewinder! I'll go with the Kickstarter special, and try my hardest to trade up to an Asp or Viper ASAP. Then the long process of tweaking it into the perfect ship :)

This is totally pay-to-win and I totally will not stand for it!

Totally!

Deadly, But very fluffy...
Founders world for me, not that i want the leg up, i just want to see whats there, then sell everything off get a cheap cobra, spend everything on cosmetics and keep 100 credits and off i go :p
 
Having never played Elite before, I will start with a Cobra or a Viper in our solar system and see where it leads me :)
 
anarchy in the uk... erm frontiers :D

but obviously i shall be doing the done thing, 100cr sidewinder when i had enough heat :eek:
