Hi,
I'm the Grinningmonk, usually known as just Monk. Returning to the game after a long time, due to some friends of mine buying me both Horizons and some shiny new rudder pedals that I was lacking from my setup, and have been playing 3 or 4 nights a week ever since. Elite is not the only thing I play, but am loving the game a lot again and find as long as I pace myself, it's great.
My Commander, Inna Tarasova is predominantly an explorer who is closing in on Elite Rank, and spend maybe 80% of my time in my Diamond Back Explorer, The Lady Raediel coming back to the bubble for various other activities to keep things varied. Currently doing some CG stuff and engineer grinding to catch up on all the new stuff.
I have been playing with a couple of friends in my own private group, but they are pretty inactive these days for various reasons, and I would love to see some other humans flying about that don't want to just blow me up.
I have no issues with PvP in general, but tend to play almost exclusively PvE theses days. I am just getting to slow in my reflexes and thin on patience to deal with PvP and if I need that itch scratched, well I have dozens of other game to do that in. I have zero interest in Elite PvP, not even entered CQC yet (but may do one day if I get bored). Elite for me is about relaxing, being immersed in the galxy around me, while listening to music.
I am East Coast Australia, GMT +10, play on PC through Steam and have applied for the Mobius Asia/Pacific group.
Hope to be accepted soon, and see my fellow Commanders around where ever my little red head explorer may end up.
