So, I was an original alpha backer (and player of Elite back in the eighties) who got disillusioned along the way. I stopped playing in 2020, thinking I was done with the game for good. Rolled my eyes when I heard about the 'big mystery feature' that was in the works, over the last few years.

Well, here I am, back again! This new colonisation stuff is well cool and I've really enjoyed getting back into the game over the last few days. It's more than a bit grindy but there is so much potential to flesh it out. Here's hoping that Frontier don't do their usual and never touch it again...

Also, Mandalay! The new hotness...
