Hello all,
So I recently joined, and thought it was a good idea to visit the Fleet forum for a more formal introduction.
And to do so properly, why not go over the questionnaire - seems to make sense.
Account Name: @PuppetX
Character Names: I joined as Zephyra (KFD tactical, Orion) and also had my Delta Recruit Gomok (FED tactical, playable Klingon) join. I have many characters, my most advanced one is my Romulan liberated Borg Sadhrena (FED ally, science). She is maxed out on reputation (all but event and iconian...). My "main" is currently Zephyra, but I tend to shift over time between all those I have in stock. My first character was T'Press - FED vulcan science carreer.
Your Current Rank: I have a number of level 50+ characters. Zephyra is 58. I only have one level 60 right now - Sadhrena the Romulan former Borg.
Time Zone: I operate from the Netherlands.
How did you get into Star Trek Online? Big fan of the franchise. Well, actually, mainly TNG and a number of episodes of DS9 and VOY. TOS is just silly, very hard to watch really. I suppose the original movies are OK. I knew when STO launched, but at the time seriously didn't have time to start playing. My gaming time went to Guild Wars (still a great game, which I sometimes revisit). Some real-life friends played STO and I think it was late 2011 when I joined. It didn't take me long to go for a Lifetime subscription. But I haven't played continuously, I have taken extensive breaks from online gaming several times.
How long have you been playing for? On and off since late 2011. Maybe once joined a fleet, but went on hiatus shortly after. Yeah, that happened.
What would be your best piece of advice to a new STO player? Don't let the UI scare you off. Take time to get used to it. Walk the tutorial - the new ones are well-written and actually provide a fun/interesting storyline. And don't rush, walk your own pace. The game may sometimes give you the idea that there is a clock running in the background, but unless you actually SEE a clock counting down, you can actually go out for groceries in the middle of whatever you were doing - the game will wait for you.
What’s your favourite career type (Engineering, Science or Tactical)? Each has it's perks, I find Tactical the most straight-forward and quick to level, Science the most interesting, Engineering the most tanky. Depends on what my "main of the day" is, really!
What’s your favourite ship? Depends on the character I'm playing. I like to play in style. I recently acquired a Xindi Heavy Escort Carrier while opening boxes for Lobi crystals. I just wanted to trade the Lobi for Lohlunat favors, because I wanted flowers for my girl! And then the ship popped out. I really love that boat right now.
What’s your best and worst STO moment? Since my gaming computer fried, I play on a laptop (with 27" monitor and external keyboard, mind) and it can't take some of the delta space maps. I hate that. I also don't like a number of typical STO game mechanics, when they make players grind and grind and grind. And I don't like the fact that building sand sculptures on Risa can't be done if you don't get extremely lucky by finding a patch before others do. How can a holiday event be designed to frustrate players??? WHAT EVER! Hence I opened boxes for Lobi to trade for favors instead. Pfff...
As for the best moment: reading appreciative comments on my Foundry missions (I have two published missions: 'Outpost Gaia' (FED) and 'Borg Blitz' (KDF) I would need to polish them up a little here and there but hey).
What are some of your other interests? Music, science, psychology, audio/visual creativity.
What’s your favourite band? My own
- I don't have favorite band, I used to be in the wave/industrial rock scene, also sporting dark electro; my current band is more heavy rock/melodic wave style with a funky drummer.
Anything else you want to say? Not really.
