1. In-game name:
Shyfty (also my callsign, pronounced "shifti", just like the word shift)
2. Whether you wish to be a part of the Adam and Eves (Industrial/Mining) or the Hell's Angels (Military/Fighter Pilot).
I see myself being part of both to be honest, at this time at least. I do like to do a little hauling or salvaging and exploring at times but wouldn't miss out on a fight either But I'm shifted a little more on teh fighting side, do Hell's Angels it will be
3. Any previous experience in flight/space sims.
Wing Commander (series)
Strike Commander
Privateer (loved that game)
Freelancer
Starlancer
Elite
EVE (off and on)
4. What your veteran backing/pledge status is and what ships you'll be starting with.
I just pledged a month or so back and chose Rear Admiral, so have a Constellation in my hangar as well as Alpha and Beta access.
But the more I read about the game the more excited I became and my wallet started to empty at a rapid rate :p Right now I have the following ships:
Constellation
Freelancer
Next Gen Aurora
Origin 325a fighter
F7C Hornet
Advanced Avenger
Cutlass
and a Retaliator
Depending on what kind of Hornet variants come out tomorrow I may melt down the F7C and go for a variant, not sure yet.

I am a 37 year old (38 in 2 days :p....damn I'm old (( ) IT administrator living in the beautiful city of Munich in Germany. Just moved in with my gf 2 months ago and just finished my studies for IT Manager, which means more time to play games Pretty much been gaming ever since a freidn of mine showed me Everquest in 1999 and played a lot of MMO's over the years (6 of them hardcore raiding in EQ) and have been fascinated by space sims ever since Wing Commander and X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter back in the day. With SC bringing together MMO and Space sim I was instantly hooked and can't wait.
As for what I can bring into the guild I would say this: I am a open minded guy who likes to chat, have fun and lend a helping hand in order to enjoy the game to its fullest. When I play I like to stick to PvE but do like to encounter in PvP as well, thus the Citadel sounded like the right spot for me. I also like to be within a structured guild when playing as this adds a lot to my gaming experience and playing in a team of nice and like minded people is a lot of fun! Citadel seems like the right place for me from what I read, so here I am
I also like dabbling in Photoshop now and then, working on wallpapers and signatures mostly, but strictly for fun, as I do not think I am all that good :p Same goes for writing...I love to do that when I have time but again, not sure if its any good :p
Ok, I'll stop babbling now and am looking forward to hearing from you
