Thanks for having me! I've been a member for just over a week, but hadn't registered on here until tonight. (Never thought to check my spam filter for the E-Mail confirmation...) Doh! 
Anywhoo, I'm a returning player that had stopped playing months ago, after my small fleet had stopped logging in.
Account Name: Scottahara
Character Names: Tiggobittys (I've had that name or some spelling of it for every primary character since I joined Everquest in the late 90's)
Your Current Rank: Lieutenant
Time Zone: Central US
How did you get into Star Trek Online? I grew up with Star Trek TNG, and have loved every series. A guild-mate of mine from Everquest, Asheron's Call, Guild Wars, EQ 2, and DC Universe told me he was going to join STO so I followed right behind. He's no longer playing, but I missed STO and wanted to play again undefined
How long have you been playing for? About 2 years, very casually, with about a 9 month break until I picked it back up last week.
What would be your best piece of advice to a new STO player? ASK FOR HELP. This game can be confusing! Everyone was a noob once and there are plenty of people out there who are willing to help. YES, there might be a jerk or two, just remember "ignore player" is but a right-click away undefined The learning curve of this game keeps most of those type out anyway undefined
What’s your favourite career type (Engineering, Science or Tactical)? So far the only type I have much experience with is tactical.
What’s your favourite ship? I'm currently running a fleet tactical escort retrofit (defiant) and it seems to work just fine. I haven't gotten a T5 Upgrade for it yet. Not really sure what my next move is gonna be.
What’s your best and worst STO moment?
BEST moment is that moment when it finally "clicked" in my head how the Bridge Officer Training system worked. I had been staring blankly at the screen for a few days. ( I didn't ask for help!!)
WORST moment was that first time I barely defeated an enemy ship and raised my hands in victory and laughter, only to die in his warp core explosion, because I didn't know about that at the time. It STILL continues to be my downfall
What are some of your other interests? I'm a high-school band director, so of course I like music. Classical, Jazz, Rock, Etc. I like camping, riding motorcycles, and I'm a Netflix addict.
What’s your favourite band? An oldy but goody - Tower of Power
Anything else you want to say? I'm a male playing a female character, because I always figured...if I'm going to be staring at a character's backside most of the time, lets let it be a female! But man, it's weird being hit on so much in mmorpgs! I suppose my name doesn't help that situation...
I'm pretty quiet until I get to know you, so don't think I'm being rude if I seem quiet in chat!
I've sort-of figured out how to play STO on my own, and there are going to be MANY things about my build/tactics/whatever that make NO sense at all. PLEASE don't hesitate to offer advice on what I can do to be a better player. Once again, thanks for having me!
