How did you hear about the 12th fleet? I was doing searches to find active, good fleets, and this one was mentioned on a few forums.
What made you interested in choosing the 12th fleet? I was impressed by the monthly magazine, first off. That shows a great deal of activity, interest, and commitment. The forums seem to be mature, and well-read. I was looking for a fleet with a good group of serious, active gamers that would make a nice community to enhance the game experience. From what I've seen, 12th appears to fit that model well

What days and times are you usually online?:
Just about every day, weekdays are spotty but I'm on from time to time between 8am EST and 5pm, and regularly between 5pm and 11pm EST, and weekends from 8am to 11pm pretty regularly.

Have you ever played an MMORPG? If so, which one and how long:
WoW for about a week until the grinding bored me to death, and I'm extremely excited about Elder Scrolls Online, and will be splitting time with that, I'm sure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a paragraph please explain how you will benefit the 12th fleet?
I've been a trek fan for decades, pretty much, though really it was TNG that got me into it fully - TOS was ok, but a bit too camp for me to take that seriously, but once I got into TNG, I was pretty much invested in the franchise, enjoying DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, etc - and even was entertained by this latest "young kirk" movie thing they have going.
I'm an older gamer, and enjoy taking it seriously, and I was looking around for a fleet that had some substance and wasn't just a bunch of munchkin min-maxers running around "p0wning" people, etc. I don't really have a use for that... but I would very much enjoy discussing the missions, episodes, overall strategy, builds, approach to the game overall, R&D, Duty Officers and missions, etc. There's a TON of stuff it seems in STO, and I'm looking forward to delving into it all!
I wouldn't mind trying out some PvP, but I have my reservations... every time I try it (in any MMORPG) it seems very heavily weighted against noobs. I entered my first PvP and had done a couple of things in there (I was a Lt. Commander at the time) and all of a sudden some huge Klingon Cruiser or Battleship or something comes winging out of nowhere, targets me, and decimates me in about .5 seconds - a single pass over my ship... I hardly knew what happened. That's not really PvP that I enjoy too much, honestly... but more even matches between similar-strength opponents (or even teams) I may like more: I just haven't been able to find that yet.
So, all that said, I'm hoping that being involved with a fleet increases the depth and immersion in the game, offers interesting opportunities and aid, and allows me to join up on fleet actions and other joint operations in a really fun way. And, in return, if I can donate materials and other resources and time to help overall fleet success and goals, that would be great, too. It would be fun to wear the uniform of a well-respected, active fleet that one can be proud to be a part of.
