From the look of things, TEST Squadron might be my speed when it comes to joining a group for Star Citizen. You guys have a bunch of Auroras, not a lot of superfluous rules, and seem like everyone's here to just have fun and look out for each other. I'm a middle-aged guy with a kid on the way, a 9 to 5 IT job, and contract work on the side - I don't need another job in front of a computer. : P
Hopefully I've come to the right... clan? fleet? organization? squad? Whatever SC calls it.
Where you from stranger?
St. Louis, Missouri. It's a place! With things!
What drew you to Star Citizen?
I like the entire idea of a multi-faceted space sim. I only heard about SC a few months ago through people over at the MechWarrior Online subreddit, and thought that the idea was a bit far fetched at the time, but once I finally strolled over to /r/starcitizen and the RSI website and saw the level of involvement the dev team has with the community, I was convinced. With something this ambitious, if they manage to pull off even half of what they propose it'll be an awesome game, and I'm willing to throw a few bucks at it, even if it'll be a year or so before we see much more than dog fighting.
What do you look forward to most in Star Citizen? (PVP, Exploration, etc)
Honestly, I don't know. I'd love to do a little of everything: exploring, dogfighting, commerce (both legit and not-so). I've got an Aurora, I'm gonna take on the universe! Wooo! :-D
What was the first game you remember playing?
Easy - Super Mario Bros. (the combo Duck Hunt cartridge) and Zelda on my NES I got when I was 5. Couldn't tell you which one I popped in first, though.
What other games do you play?
Aside from the plethora of FPSs, RPGs, and RTSs over the decades, I never got into MMOs much until a few years ago. I tried WoW back in the day (around launch) and quit after 1 month. Since I'm a huge Tolkien fan I have a lifetime sub to LotRO and over the years haven't been able to struggle past lvl 65 on my main. Turns out I'm not big on strictly ground-based fantasy MMOs. I played Champions Online for a bit; it was fun since it was cartoon-y and pretty casual. After that I got into Star Trek Online and have been playing that for about the last year and a half or more. Then a few months ago I bought into MechWarrior Online with the Overlord Phoenix mech pack and have been dabbling in that. It's fun for a few rounds of big stompy robot shoot 'em up, but, well... I'll just say that the jury still seems to be out on the future of that game. Oh, and I've got a Steam library of 300+ games that I'll get around to playing, one of these days.
Picard or Kirk?
Yes.
If you're going to force me to pick, Kirk.
