Hi All,
Hedge here... new to UFPlanets so thanks for letting me join..
As in my application comment, life long Star Trek fan, plenty of books and other collectible stuff over the years - last weekend at MCM Comic-Con in London I picked up a Locutus of Borg Funko Pop to add to the growing collection.
From a gaming persecptive, xbox mainly but still play on PC - STO on both now for sure... but i have all the old ST Games both on original formats and from GOG and other sources as well.... who remembers the Star Trek 25th Anniversary game!
I play other games as well, mainly strategy/building like Sim City, Railway Empire and so on and the odd arcade game as well (built my own cabinet during lockdown!). Even as part of that I started to create an LCARS front end for EmulationStation!
Enjoy running and going to the gym and supporter of Movember every year..... been working in IT in various roles for over 25 years now as well.
Got asked last night by my daughter if i have ever cried when watching a film... i said yes, twice - Spock dying and funeral in ST2:TWOK and then Optimus Prime dying in Transformers: The Move (1986) which i actually watched at the cinema!
Happy to be part of the crew and look forward to interacting with you all!

Welcome to the fleet. check out the different sections for what you need and if you're needing build advice people around here will help. Depending on the ship, there could be a build already made, or if you're like me and pick the most off the wall/rare/oddball ship, we can figure something out if you make a post on it.

As I said before, "Welcome aboard!" I cannot imagine anyone not getting a tear when Spock died in TWOK. It would make me question what kind of Star Trek fan they were!!!
What I really need is a cupholder and a couple of Advil.-Quincy Taggart
