Why do you want to become a Mentor?:
Since I started playing again I feel like there’s a big amount of unskilled low playtime players that could use help from veteran mentors, especially medics.
And I also want to better the community by teaching others.
What gameplay areas do you know and which areas are you strong and weak in?:
Best:
Combat - I know how combat works. I understand how to counter marine weapons and tricks as a xeno; I understand how to counter xenomorph castes as a marine. I understand the flow of combat and tactics due to a lot of playtime on basic squad roles. I am able to explain to people how the guns work in this space hellhole and which attachments to use when going for what build.
Medical - I am a very avid medical player. I remember all the surgeries by heart; remember the basic, important pill mixes by heart and I like to call myself a very good medic.
Cargo - I managed cargo a lot alone. I know how to prepare a proper FOB crate, how to find spare metal around the Almayer, and what marines need.
Command - Huge fan of playing SO and I feel like its my favourite role in the CIC. Played a bit as XO and liked it but never really got into it.
Despite my low-ish playtime as Squad Leader I think it’s realistically multiplied by times three due to how many times I’ve been given Acting Squad Lead.
JTAC - I like using marine fire support tools. I pretty much always grab a laser designator and JTAC comms as a marine, no matter what role. I often call in OB’s and even have some round-winning ones on my record. I know how to use the mortar, but I don’t do it often.
Good at:
Engineering: I know how to construct a proper FOB; I once even received a medal for making a good one all by myself. When I play engineer I prefer taking care of the comms relay and making small outposts. I know how to make airlocks; light fixtures and et cetera. I understand the importance of when and where you should place cades.
Okay at:
Military Law - I like to sometimes hop on as a MP. I do know Military Law and do’s and do nots of playing as MP. I should clarify that I spent half my playtime Honor Guarding CO’s rather than actually arresting people.
Xeno: I am not a big-time xeno player, although I do understand their mechanics and abilities.
Weak at:
OT, Research, CL, Mess tech - I simply never played these roles as they did absolutely not interest me, but I will at some point definetely learn research.
PO/DCC - I may have never played CAS, but I know about the upgrades that dropships need, how the dropship printer works and how to make a fire mission.
How often are to able to play CM?:
Mostly at 7 PM GMT+1 to 12PM, but there will be days where I have more time.

Anything else you’d like to add?:
I was a mentor on TGMC around late 2020, and I have around a thousand hours over there too when they had more similar-ish mechanics to today’s CM.
Lots of experience, if they were able to play for those 1k+ hours they must be thick-skinned enough to handle 1 or 2 PVTs. Defo +1.
