Just joined up and wanted to introduce myself, Apollo Fett here! I got the name by mashing up two of my favorite sci fi characters Captain Apollo from Battlestar and of course the venerable Boba Fett. Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, I am 32, have loved gaming all my life and I have been on the Star Citizen hype train for just over a year. I am also going to be a dad in July! So I am pretty excited about all the things coming in the next year with my life and SC :)
I am currently at a Vice Admiral level pledge with an Alpha package containing an M50, a Xi'an Scout LTI, Herald LTI and a Delta. The rest of my pledge is 2 shirts, hoodie, first fleet dog tag and of course towel! I probably won't be pledging for anything new any time soon as our currency is in a sad state and any ships I get will have a 25% markup on them, which really sucks :(
My setup includes; i5 3570k @ 4.6ghz, 16GB ram, GTX 670FTW (planning to upgrade the gpu closer to launch or maybe at the end of the year, this card is barely enough to play AC right now) and an SSD. For controls I have an X55, T16000m for left hand strafing, a G27 wheel which I use the pedals for decoupled strafe forward and back control. It's a been a bit of a chore to set it all up correctly and historically gets messed up somehow with each major patch. I think things are finally at the point where it won't break anymore hopefully, which would be nice because it really is fun to play with this set up. I also have the new Logitech G910 keyboard, it's beautiful, and a G502 mouse, love em both. I also have a DK2 which I mainly bought last year because at the time SC had support for DK1. Of course by the time I got it that support was gone :( So I have been patiently waiting for it to get added back, hopefully soon! Of course, it wasn't a waste because I have got much use out of it with Elite and some other cool games and demos though :)
I am pretty frequently on Reddit, mainly on SC and Elite subs, I've been intending to join up with TEST for a while but just never got around to it until now. With 1.1 I am getting back into the game now, I just got my controls sorted out and played a great match of VS co-op it was a blast! I happened to do fairly well in the match as well, despite suffering a couple of cheap ramming deaths! So I am here to find some cool new friends to get into matches with and looking forward to the FPS coming soon too!
Anyway enough about me, I am looking forward to meeting you guys and getting some games going!
