Found you guys via Reddit, was browsing /starciten, spotted /Starcitizen/UK then a thread with someone asking about a UK based exploration guild, a few guilds had put info in there but dMw info just jumped out at me :)

Ah, that was me!   I don't often jump onto Reddit, but happened across that thread so posted up our details as it seemed to suit the kind of thing we'll be doing.  Glad to have another Admiral onboard, welcome! :thumbsup:

I think a fair few of us are looking to add more ships prior to launch, I'm particularly interested in seeing more details on the:

Carrack - for long distance exploration, crew medical and repair facilities and mapping-oriented sensors for jump charting
Orion - for mining (I have a Starfarer so it seems a decent fit)
Surveyor - for salvage work

I'm 100% that I will grab a Carrack, it seems a perfect spec for us and it's the only one with a crew medical & repair facility at the moment.

I'm also intrigued by the Herald.  The idea of data-running seems fun, but I'm not totally convinced (yet).

Hi guys!  I hope you don't mind, but I'm having a look around your forums as I like the feel of the place.  I'm trying to decide whether to leave my current org for one that's based in the UK.  I like them, but they're too international and not very active.

I've got an exploration focus in SC, so would very much be on that side of things. I've picked up a few ships which I'd very much like to share :D

Cheers!

Hi Justin, welcome to the forums!   You can see our current fleet here and we've got a fair number of exploration-interested members to add to the ships.   We're also expecting to add at least a couple of Carracks (exploration-focused ships) when they come out, so we'll be fairly well geared for exploration.

Feel free to look around, but if you want talk to someone to ask any questions then feel free to pop onto our TS server and speak to us.   (I'm in the Star Citizen channel atm for example).  We're a friendly bunch and don't bite! :P

Enjoy your stay and hope to hear from you :thumbsup:

Thanks!  The more I read, the happier I am to have found you.  I can't do TS a lot, I'm afraid - toddler and small business means I don't get to play a lot.  I'll make sure I hop on when I get a chance though!  I'd like to get more involved.

Anyway I've sent an org join request on RSI.  Any chance you'll have a stranger like me on board?

Been there, done that (as have many members), so we feel your pain!  :roflmao:

In the mean time we've accepted your application on the RSI website and hope to get to have a chance to talk to you soon.  There are plenty of people playing different games on our TS server every night, so just jump in and say hello!

Welcome to the DMW Fleet!

Horray!  Where do I park my ships then?  I hear you have a fleet survey?

Yeah, gaming has taken a knock, but it'll always be there!  It's been too deeply ingrained over the last few decades ;)

Oldbloke will give you a login ID and password for the fleet survey, about 70% of members have updated it so far (come on the other 30%, fill in your details please!) and the aim is to keep it up to date yourself as your fleet changes with time.   Hopefully it will become redundant once the Fleet Tab becomes operational on RSI's site.   In the mean time you'll find the summary here:

It sounds like a good idea to me.  How can people NOT want to add theirs?  Isn't most of the fun of this game imagining what you'll do with all the shiny while we wait for it to be released?  Right - will start posting this in appropriate threads :)

Hi guys!

Obsydian/Paul here.  A time-honoured member of the older generation of gamers (I turned the big 50 recently), I've worked in IT all my adult life and played games as and when I can.

Married amd a father of 4 kids (all now rapidly getting older themselves), I'm starting to get back into gaming a bit more.

Having grown up in the era of single player games and where the only  contact you had with other members of multi-player games was via in-game  chat or bulletin boards (remember those?), this is only the second gaming community that I've ever been a part of, my first being an EVE Online corporation (I stopped playing EVE once I'd heard of Star Citizen as SC was looking like the sort of game I thought EVE was going to be before I installed EVE and found out you couldn't get out of your ship!), so I'm probably going to be quite quiet to begin with (on comms at least - I plan on being a bit of a forum whore :D).

I don't really play many other games, but used to spend a lot of time in WoW before moving on to EVE, where I ran 4 accounts for a number of years.

Anyway, I was hoping to make the move from EVE to SC with my old Corp mates, but they don't seem to be budging and the few who have joined are not particularly active, so I went in search of a new community that I could join.  One that is active, enthusiastic about SC yet relaxed enough not to kick me if I don't put in an appearance for a while.  I've looked at many organisations within the game and their respective websites and forums, looking for something that feels right, and I think I've found it in you guys!

I am the main organiser of the Star Citizen UK meetup group and promote that wherever I can.  I am a Grand Admiral (don't ask!) and am so hyped about this game that the guys at work actively try to steer clear of the subject of gaming, space ships or sci-fi in general for fear of sparking me off! :rolleyes:  Still haven't managed to convert anyone though (probably the glint in my eye puts them off...).

So, if you'll have me, I'll be happy to join your ranks and slowly find my way around, and look forward to joining you on comms at some point and hooking up for some co-op fun in Arena Commander.

Paul.

Welcome onboard Paul (from another Paul).   Oldbloke has sorted you an invite to the org, so I look forward to meeting you on TS sometime next week when we're all back from the lan.

Sorry you could not make the meet today, there's about 40 of us here.

BTW, you are the org's 50th member, so congratulations to you and us!

Hi Obsydian!  Good to have you here!  I only just joined too, they've been nice to me so far :)

Your story seems pretty similar to mine - and it's nice to have another GA here (don't ask me and I won't ask you).  Are you responsible for the second 890?  Going to be one hell of a party!

Galatoni

Hi. Not been here that long either. Everyone is cool and they can put up with me too which is a bonus! ;)
