Heya! This is my first time being on a fan forum since my early days of Star Wars gaming (the Dark Forces era, Admiral's Command Chamber, Massassi Temple etc.), so I wanted to start things off right with a quick introduction.
I am a 35-year old IT nerd who was raised on Star Trek: TNG, DS9, and Voyager, and without going into boring detail, Trek has always helped me through some dark times by showing the best of what humanity can be. When I heard that there was a game called Star Trek Online that featured some of the actors I grew up watching, I was immediately interested. Granted, that was about a month ago, but even though I'm a decade late to the party I'm still hooked (even if I did pay so much more attention to the acting and story that I am, how you say, not so much good at the gameplay yet). I usually hang out on the Promenade being the worst Dabo player in the universe, drinking kanar at Quark's, and generally hanging out people-watching between patrols.
My favorite Trek series by far is DS9, as it built and/or developed some of my favorite aspects of the universe (Cardassians, the Dominion, the Maquis, and of course, what is and is not a faaaaake) but Voyager also holds a very special place because of how well it did weird. By and large I loved all of the movies from TOS and TNG, particularly First Contact and Generations.
As I get more settled in I may start writing stories, joining RP as I'm able, and generally making a nuisance of myself but for now I'm just happy to have found this community. See y'all in-game!

We're happy you found us, thank you for sharing a bit about yourself. DS9 is my favorite series, I like them all of course, maybe it's the uniforms in the last couple seasons. Which could be why I really enjoyed the TNG movies and especially First Contact as that was the first to show off the new uniforms.
See you around the galaxy!

Heya Italicsquirrel85, welcom to the community! Like you, I got started on STO about a decade behind everyone else. The great thing about that, is you have all those years of content to go through, so, maybe not the worst thing in the world.
Again, welcome. Glad to have you onboard.
