Reporting for duty!

[Frequency]

Where you from stranger?
Cold, windy and rainy Netherlands.

What drew you to Star Citizen?
The first trailer/introduction to SC by CR basically sold me, I love space oriented games, exploration, trading and action so SC naturally appealed to me very much!

What do you look forward to most in Star Citizen? (PVP, Exploration, etc)
Really looking forward to trading, large fleet- and some stealth ops, possibly a spot of bounty hunting.

What was the first game you remember playing?
The first game I remember... That's asking something, I would have to guess it would be Ski or Die on the Commodore 64, must've been around 3 or 4 years old back then.

What other games do you play?
Currently I am playing a lot of Civ5, some Hearthstone, occasionally some PS2 (not with Test Outfit as I am on another server) and I like to indulge in a spot of Minecraft and KSP every now and again.

I am however up for a lot of co-operative multiplayer games, if you're looking for a partner or extra team member on a game let me know!

Picard or Kirk?
Definitely Picard.

Great to have you here!

I am also trying to get back some PS2 action, I burnt out a while ago and its really tough getting back into it!

We will have to make an evening and all get on there for some biolab action.

Welcome to the gaggle!!

I just got my first glimpse of Hearthstone yesterday during Blizzcon. It was intense. Welcome aboard.

...and some stealth ops...

Yes! Another one!

Yes! Another one!

What, exactly, constitutes a stealth op? I have my own ideas, but I'm uncertain what 3-15 pilots would do that would involve stealth more than straight-on pew-pew.

Ever heard of the stealth bombing runs in EVE online? Stuff like that and more. Basically a stealth op is just a variations on "hit-and-run", using different weapons/ships on different targets. For attacking larger ships you could equip a Gladiator with torpedoes and heavy missiles or bombs (plus a stealth kit like is on the F7C-S), whereas for a mining convoy I could see a small wing of stealthed-out M50s taking out any escorts or other fighter-sized ships, while Cutlasses or Caterpillars or something deal with the mining barges and cargo ships.

Stealth ops can be almost anything, as long as they're sneaky. Hell, just hiding behind an asteroid to ambush some unsuspecting miners could be considered a stealth op. Personally, the stealth ops I'll be interested in will be primarily stealth bombing (hitting capital-sized ships with torpedoes and bombs, then getting out before they know you're there to return fire), assassinations (taking a fast ship like the M50, hopefully getting something resembling decent firepower onto it, then surprising and eliminating a single target), and pirate ops like the attack on a mining convoy I mentioned earlier. The key to a stealth op is surprise. Whether you achieve that via a stealth-kit like on the F7C-S, hiding behind asteroids, using the glare of the sun to your advantage, or anything you can think of, as long as it has the element of surprise it's probably a stealth op.
