Hello everybody, time to make my forum debut, I thought I would put an end to my forum lurking days and introduce myself to the community.
I am Karstark, I have been playing now for only about a a fortnight and so far I am pretty much addicted to this highly original, tactics and teamwork based, aero-nautical steam punk romp.
My first forays into airship skirmishes on GoI ended in catastrophe as I found the learning curve to be steep. But I resolved to improve my skills and knowledge in order to become a valued crew member. This lead me to the forums forums where I absorbed some of the beginner guides and theory craft threads. I also had the good fortune of meeting an accomplished player in game named Red Ace who took the time to teach myself and three other noobs all of the roles, responsibilities and techniues of each crew class. This was immensely helpful to those of us that were taken under his wing. We then went on to be a extremely formidable crew for the next batch of games instead of floundering and faltering into firy oblivion. I take my hat off to all players that take their time out to properly engage with and educate new players, welcoming them to the game, giving them a positive first impression in addition to another good reason to want to play.
Since then I have become a tough opponent to play against, my strongest points being pilot and gunner. I thrive on the tactical aspects of the dogfight as well as the team cohesion with crew and friendly vessels required in order to best the enemy ships one way or another. Though I still have much and more to learn, I have taken to passing on my knowledge to fledglings and I welcome the opportunity to invest my time in a level 1 crew member as it guarantees a competent crew member and friend in the future.
I recognise many familiar names from this forum as being regulars in the public matches, I look forward to many more tense and frantic battles with you in the future. As allies or as adversaries, I value respect for one another, good sportsmanship and honour.
