I played Mass Effect 1-3, Freelancer and Freespace 1+2 back in the day, but never got around to playing any of the Wing Commander games. I was however impressed by both Chris Roberts vision and tech demo shown in the kickstarter trailer and so I jumped in just after the kickstarter concluded.
Outside of games I enjoy Sci-fi shows and movies, particularly the Alien movies and the show Firefly. The spaceship model Firefly from the show is the one I most want to fly and Ive found the Merchantman to be the closest.
In Star Citizen i see myself as a trader and explorer first and combat support second. I'm not much into fighters, so I'll leave that part to my Corp mates.
