A bunch of people seem to be enjoying this, going by the main thread, but info about players’ in-game handes are spread out amongst all the other myriad posts.
So I thought I’d start a thread for posting your handle in-game and what group you are playing in, if any.
So post your deets here and I’ll update the first post with everyone’s details.
Groups
Open Play, obviously
Veloxi - Brian Rubin’s group
RETIRED - jpinard - jpinard’s group - use Veloxi instead
Mobius - a PvE group spawned on the Elite forums back in beta, and now runs around 1,800 members
Assuming you don’t play solo, if you are a member of a group, you can start the game in ‘group play’, rather than ‘open play’ and the only other PC’s you will see are members of that group instead of randoms.
In practice, the universe is a big place so it may not make much difference and I gather most folk that are playing online are playing open play anyway.
KK do you notice any additional lag while playing in Mobius’s group? I’m so anal about performance I can’t tell if I’m dreaming up a little slower performance or if it’s real. I certainly notice it in open play.
Sharealo you should be accepted now :) I was offline for like 10 days rebuilding my computer.
Glad to hear her computer is working. What did they end up having to do to fix it? jpinard is sponsored by frops :) I wish they’d let us make up different group names. With Open Play I get stutter like you mentioned when I’m near space stations and when leaving hyperspace - something I don’t have in solo/group play.
I’m Eddy Vegas. I’m usually in Veloxi group. Go ahead and friend me, I still haven’t sent or received a chat message in-game yet (despite trying a couple dozen times). It’s a sandbox, and that is my next goal!
