About Capt. Murphy

Capt. Murphy is a relative newcomer to the Ooniverse. He briefly visited back in the 1.65 days, before moving in permanently shortly after 1.75 was released. However he did spend many months/years as a youngster playing Elite on the Acorn Electron (no missions, 1 Galaxy, about 6 different ships) and the Amstrad CPC, and as an adult Elite TNK on his PC.

In between times he has mainly been stranded on Saturn's moon Titan in the game Hardwar where as smurph he helped make some mods for that game.

Capt. Murphy is currently flying a rather battered Cobra Mk III known as 'Murphy's Law' in Galaxy 5 and is has recently attained the rank of Deadly. He is a bit of a jack of all trades, but mainly engages in Bounty Hunting, Narcotics Smuggling, trade in Gems and Precious Metals and Escorting NPC Traders.
