CMDR Felwyn here, fresh from filing the application and awaiting acceptance.
I've only recent come back to the game after leaving it, like so many others I've heard about, due to the massive grind involved to get to where you want to be. That, and lack of people to actually play it with as I used to tend to play in solo mode, meant that the games charm wore off very quickly. That is until last week, when i decided to get back into it. Got into my fresh save, puchased a viper MK3, then moved up to a Cobra MK3 with my sights set on the Python as soon as I can afford it, some modules, as well as rebuy to be safe.
I'm looking forward to joining everyone in this group, seeing as what I've seen of it looks really appealing. I'm always willing to help if I'm able, though I tend to remain near Belarsuk for the most part.
