Nice to meet you all!

[Kannder]

Hello, I've just signed up and am hoping to join in on some space sim fun.
It's been many years since I last played freelancer online and I look forward to getting back into it.

I was really curious on the factions and I am unsure on which one I should join.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or opinions on what would be the right faction for me.
I am strictly combat and exploration focused but would also like to do some trading escorting if I find a few friends who specialize in trading and need a decent guard.
Once again hello to everyone and thanks in advanced for your opinions or advice.
