More of a query really...whilst adding my ships to the DMW fleet I couldn't help noticing the ship name field well so far I haven't named any of my ships as I was waiting until the game went live but way back when I was thinking of a highly unoriginal 'Culture' style ship naming convention as I love the irreverence Iain Banks had for naming his spaceships but now I'm in DMW I wondered if this was going to be appropriate.

So is there going to be a DMW ship naming convention or can I just crack on with probably calling my Herald for example - VFP "Unreliable Information" or "Like Sh!t off a shovel" obviously depending on how many characters they let us use, I have some equally uninspiring and crass names lined up for other ships in my fleet but I'll toe the party line if needs be.

Hi Everyone,

I met a few of you at the Star Citizen pub meet in Crawley back on April 11th so thought I'd pop on here and say hello, it was great to meet a few fellow enthusiasts and it was amusing to hear that LAN parties were still going strong it's definitely something I wouldn't mind getting into again has been many a long year since my PC took a trip out.

Me and one of my old Eve buddies are currently looking for a good org in Star Citizen and having failed to persuade more of our old crew to join us have been looking around trying to find a half decent home so would be interested in hooking up with you guys and seeing how things run.

Other than Star Citizen I'm playing some (Though if you speak to my Wife a lot of) World of Tanks and a messing around with a bit of Kerbal space program when my kids aren't demanding attention or the wife isn't making me paint things. For anyone interested my user name on WOT is joe_scummer so if you feel like platooning up message me if I'm on and I'll show you how not to play the game.

As for me those that have met me will know I'm knocking on a bit, 44 to be precise my real name is Richard though most of my mates either call me Tricky or Cookie. I've been gaming since having a zx spectrum back in the day watching groups of 5 or 6 pixels race around the screen playing harrier attack and thinking how things don't get much better than this, how times have changed.

My gaming handle Joe Scummer is something I've used on many online games and its one of those happy coincidences, Joe Scummer being a character from my favourite childhood comic strip Bad Company and the happy coincidence being somewhere down the line I became a Southampton supporter so a Scummer as any Pompey fan will tell you.

Anyway I look forward to seeing you all in the verse soon enough.

Cheers

Tricky
