question concerning zoner explorer

[zebedee123]

Interesting - my brother and me set ourselves up with freelancer accounts last night and went off exploring (under the guise of a private exploration firm - Excelsior Space Exploration)....I purchased a repair ship and my brother purchased an anki.

As a new player, is that viable RP? I love the repair ship (acting as a support ship) but think we can do better than the anki (Kusari explorer perhaps then? - but that wouldn't be allowed through Bretonia I guess?)

We wandered into Omicron Minor, had a very quick look around and made a hasty retreat.....

It's been years since I've played freelancer so it's good to be able to explore the new systems and re-discover the old ones.

Would we be better off looking into going down the Zoner road as well?
