    Hi all,

    I was originally a member a few years ago, but more or less stopped gaming when I was the main carer for my dad when he was terminally ill back in 2017/18. I came back to the game every now and then but couldn't summon up much enthusiasm; then lockdown happened, I got furloughed from work, and I realised that the 500 monthly Zen my lifetime subscription netted me meant I had something like 30k to spend, & there was a ship sale on...

    So, I'm playing regularly now, and having put some actual effort into the game, I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of decent builds. I think my old characters will be retired or deleted, as I concentrate on the newer, better-planned and realised ones. The Temporal Recruit science captain I'm playing at the moment is probably going to become my new main, despite his horribly unimaginative name.

    Anyway, about me. I'm in the UK, in my 50s, working in IT, living in a garrison town in South West England. I'm originally from South/South West Wales, solidly Welsh, and I grew up with ST:TOS, Doctor Who, and Space:1999. My first Captain was Kirk, but my preferred Captain is Picard (the original TNG version) because Sir Patrick can actually act. My academic background is international politics, military history, and strategic studies; a couple of my areas of research were strategic deception and propaganda, and I've read Machiavelli, so of course my favourite character is a plain, simple tailor...

    Welcome back to the community!

    If you're available, I'd encourage you to check out some of the regular events including the Saturday TFO event. It's a great place to parse your new builds, ask questions of the veterans DPSers, and of course it's always a good time.
