Let's first work off that Template from our Glorious Leader:

Where you from stranger?
Germany.

What drew you to Star Citizen?
Big Spaceships with multiple Crewmembers... also, Devs of other Games seem to like destroying their Games for whatever reason. And despite my best effords, I still suck too much in C# to make my own Game atm.^^

What do you look forward to most in Star Citizen? (PVP, Exploration, etc)
Currently I'm mostly looking forward to a concept sale that allows me to upgrade my Aurora to a real Ship without blowing too much € into the Game.

As for the Game once it actually counts, I think I'll do a lot of transportation, since I played a Game called King of the Road (I think it was only the EU Name), I always wanted a Online Game where you could actually make money by Transporting stuff. Escorting, Bountyhunting etc. might also be fun for me, but I can't see myself exploring, because I never find anything hidden in whatever Game I've played... sometimes I don't even find not-hidden things...

What was the first game you remember playing?
Offline: the first Game I really loved was Pokemon AND I discovered how to catch Mew by abusing a glitch... which took me months...

Online: Tibia... and if any of my early Teachers is reading: My Magic Skill was more important than my Homework.

What other games do you play?
I don't really play much atm. but I have a rather full War Thunder Account... after endless discussions and getting silenced by the moderation back and forth I finally accepted that the Devs don't give a damn about their earlier promises and I just can't get myself to play atm.

I also own Guild Wars 2 + HoT, but... somehow it kinda went down after they made the base game F2P, don't quite know why.
How did you first hear about Test Squadron and what convinced you to join?
Well, I just sorted squads by the most members and took a closer look at the ones at the top.

Then I saw BoredGamer's YT Videos and honestly, XPLOR's Tiiga sounded like he just surrounds himself with members for whatever reason... and it's really hard to watch the entire video without falling asleep.

Corperation's weird influence system would honestly cause me to puke on my Keyboard... there will be so many kids abusing it without any doubt (you give me influence and I give you influence, let's both make 50 accounts...) and the "OMG I WANTZ HIGH POSITION" drama will be real. And keeping awake while watching the Vid was quite hard, too.

Picard or Kirk?
Commander Adama (Lorne Greene) from Battlestar Galactica... actually a VERY underrated series imo. I also loved Dirk Benedict (Face from A-Team if the Name doesn't ring a bell) as Starbucks... and I never liked Star Trek.

And after you've survived the Wall of Text above:

I'm not gonna drain your Beer supplies, since I prefer Äbbelwoi. ^^"

One of my main goals I have in the Game is to collect a lot of Ships and give them to others to fly around in them, be it to evaluate them and see if they should go for it, just to make some money with them or whatever.... but I gotta get them ingame, since I wont spend that much on SC.

ATM, I try to figure out how I can get myself a proper Ship without spending too much... I can't stand Auroras, they're like the VW Golf of Space... :P

We'll let it slide...this time. ;)
I knew the Star Trek comment would not go unnoticed...^^ but I really never liked the Ship Design and the Characters feel too blown up for me.

Have you tried Discord chat? It's a wild time
I'm not too much of a Headset user (partially because I don't like my voice much), so I don't have old 5€ Headset somewhere, which I doubt even functions, but I'll most likely get a proper one at some point.

Hello Fellow European Ally. I've followed you in game, I'll pull out Freelancer for you to fly in game - I can't rate that ship high enough as a next step for a beginner - it does it all.

If you say the Aurora is a VW Golf (i'd actually say VW Beetle....) - the Feelancer is a BMW 535D... Estate.

Feelancer sounds expensive... all those fees... :P

Not actually by default, but I didn't wanna sound like a bootlicker... I watched the vid with Glorious Leader at least 3 Times whole and a few times part-wise while writing my suggestion. :P

Willkommen :)

I loved the original Battlestar Galatica films with Lorne Greene; have watched them mid of the 80s'. But new BSG was even better, breathing the spirit of the origins but pushing the whole topic to new horizons, regarding to both, characters - even the Cylons have comprehensible reasons for their actions! - as well as screenplay.

Have fun, see ya around!
