Where you from stranger?
Currently Portland, OR. In the last decade I've also lived in the Bay Area of California; midstate NY; and, too briefly, London, England. I travel a lot.
What drew you to Star Citizen?
I needed an ambitious unreleased game that would entice me into spending hundreds of dollars on the fantasy of life in space. So far, it's doing its job impressively well.
What do you look forward to most in Star Citizen? (PVP, Exploration, etc)
Living in my 315p and pretending that it has replaced my actual life. Not sure how I'll do that, though, as I've a ridiculous assortment of responsibilities IRL these days.
I like exploring and seeing new things. If exploration allows for that in SC, I might very well spend my days there. If it's micromanaging space coordinates and fuel supplies, I might go in a different direction.
When I first played EVE, I had a surprisingly fun time flying patrol for a group of miners and shooting pirates out of the skies. I'm uncertain I've the dogfighting ability to seriously do PVP, and will be unlikely to have the time to truly hone that craft, but I'll bring an LTI Super Hornet to PVE and do what I can in PVP. (You're welcome to hitch a ride, Wardak, if Magnumag ever has a different gunner onboard.)
The other playstyle I enjoy is making a truly fast ship and running courier missions and high-value small cargo hauling. I'd like to think I'm a blockade runner and stealth craft pilot, but we'll see if that holds up in the 'verse.
What was the first game you remember playing?
Wizardry I on an Apple IIe
What other games do you play?
Currently, my largest amount of hours is in Guild Wars 2. I've been playing since the first Beta Weekend. My next highest hours count is in Endless Space. I've played a fair quantity of the modern X-COM: Enemy Unknown and Countersrike: GO. And I have a well-populated library of Steam games that I've played to varying degrees.
That library is full of various space-related games, most of which haven't scratched any of my itches. I'm that sucker who spends money on almost anything that suggests the possibility of pretending I live in space, and they almost all fail to do it for me. I bought a new computer to play I-War (Independence War in the States), then bought a gaming laptop to play Wing Commander IV on the road.
Picard or Kirk?
There's better captains to emulate, and better shows to get lost in, but if I had to choose one space pilot / adventurer I'd want to be, it'd be John Crichton by a long shot.

Well met, everyone! I'm glad to have found a fun community to fly with.
