Me and the darkside have a lot in common!
We both have a substantial supply of cookies.
Other than that, I'm a massive fan of the Elite series, and I play Dangerous reasonably regularly (missing out on that Alpha due to hardware constraints at the time), but only in Solo, so jumping into a MMO Universe such as DU is something I have not done since Final Fantasy XI over ten years ago.
I'm not really sure how I would like to get into Dual Universe. In FFXI I attended several groups that did a variety of events, even led or co-led several of the groups, but often those events would last for upwards of 5 hours. As much as I would like to find some form of group, health issues now limit my play time quite drastically, and I'm not really sure if I can commit to regular, lenghtly event nights.
I think I like the idea of "space odd-job man". Not tied down to a event schedule but being availiable to anyone who needs an extra gun in their fleet, or maybe help with a settlement, or in need of a space bus or delivery boy. Or if you simply want to strap me to the outside of your ships hull as some extra shielding.
