Hello people!

Where you from stranger?

- Ireland, but I live between France and Switzerland

What drew you to Star Citizen?

- Lifelong sci-fi fan, especially Iain M Banks and Arthur C Clarke stuff - love all sorts of space gameplay but secretly want to RP my nerdy sci-fi fantasies

What do you look forward to most in Star Citizen? (PVP, Exploration, etc)

- Exploration if that's ever a thing + data running, or pathfinding in a scout ship ahead of an invasion force, stealth/espionage... but also drunken ground vehicle races and blowing stuff up :P

What was the first game you remember playing?


- Those were Mega Drive days so maybe Sonic or Earthworm Jim haha

What other games do you play?

- An unhealthy amount of heavily modded Fallout 4... I need something less single player obsessive and more social! I have about 3000 hours in Elite Dangerous and still play sometimes, X3 (Litcube's), also this year Cities Skylines, Alien:Isolation in VR, Far Cry 5.

How did you first hear about Test Squadron and what convinced you to join?

- Youtube videos on orgs, been thinking about an org for sometime to freshen up the SC experience, I've been playing about 3 years solo and it's honestly got pretty dull. I realised I was spending more time watching youtube videos of people playing together instead of actually playing...so yep. Also I like beer with gaming so that kinda swayed it for me :)


Picard or Kirk?


- Picard, the man has class

EDIT : If Kirk, new Kirk or old Kirk?

Welcome to TEST!
Oh good! Someone wants to be in front of me in an invasion force!

... Can you crash your ship? Especially on a planet or it's star, but even smacking an asteroid would count. New Babbage's space port doesn't count if you fly a Prospector. They made that part too easy.

Welcome aboard!

I adored the Culture series, I always enjoyed the names the ship Minds chose for themselves 🙂
Absolutely! All my ships in Elite are named after Culture ships, my favourites are Lapsed Pacifist, Gunboat Diplomat, and the Credibility Problem...

I just went an looked up a list of the Culture Ship names and was delighted to find Elon Musks Drone Ship "Of Course I still love you" was apparently named after the Mind in the book The Player Of Games. 🙂

:) and the other drone ship, "Just Read the Instructions" too... It gives me a lot of confidence in SpaceX knowing he's a culture fan...
