Reply to New Official Founders Welcome Thread - Introduce Yourself! in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

Hi all! I'm late to this party but I'm Matt, aka 'Prophet224'. I loved Star Control and Starflight (a semi-contemporary), and I'm looking forward to Stardock's take on SC. Once upon a time I worked in software development, game testing, things like that, now I'm mostly a SQL guy in finance, but also developing a few of my own things. Looking forward to chatting with y'all!
