Here’s a thread on going solo!

Flying Solo - Advice for solo characters

Most people at Empire play in groups, small and large, but it is entirely possible to play a solo character at Empire, get stuff done and still have fun. It can be trickier but if you know what you’re getting into and can pick the right niche in a nation then that can make things a lot easier. So this thread is for people to offer some advice, especially if they’ve hit the field as a lone character and made it work for them, tell us your secret :).
