Hey Guys,
I used to be part of the old United Pilots Alliance (UPA) back in the day. Just wanted to know if anyone else was jumping on for this. I just purchased the HOTAS and I'm hoping to squad up again with some former players from the old XvT ERA. I don't think I'm the only old timer out here. Hopefully this game lets us set up a Clan vs Clan play to have competitive play against Clans again. I really missed that.

I played the games for a very small window (I didn't own a PC back then , played on my brothers while on a trip where he was stationed). He was hard core at the time and flew with a crew , not sure of the affiliation however. We are both jumping back in and plan to get Hotas as soon as stocks rebound.
Hey Qui-Jan,
You might be pleasantly surprised to know there are still quite a few old gamers lurking.
I myself, am part of the Emperor's Hammer, which was formed back in the 90s!!!

I'm one of many "gamers from the 90s". So yeah you are not alone!
Squadrons is definitely bringing lots of players back 🙂
I'm part of a gaming community, called Emperor's Hammer btw (that's been around since the 90s)
Seek me out on the EH discord, discord 'dot' com 'forward slash' invite 'forward slash' MSxYV8a
I came back to these games about a year ago or so, after I wondered if there were people still playing TIE Fighter.

Absolutely, I have very fond memories of Tie Fighter, X-Wing, Aces over Europe and all the flight sims of the period. Very fond memories indeed.
I am primarily a single player gamer, so hope that there will be additional sp content coming for this in the future.
I am very nostalgic for this release and are just happy we are getting some X-Wing and Tie Fighter love again.
Hopefully it will live up to expectations and will be responsible for lots of fond memories.
Yep and beyond hyped for this game. Some of us have been setting up a new tight knit group for us 'vets'. It's called Gray Squadron and it's the only 18+ Squadrons group as far as I know. The Discord is AtMe3qM if you want to stop by.
I played all the old starfighter games in the 90s, both X-wing and TIE fighter. Good times! My PC wasn't good enough to run them so I always had to visit a friend.
I am an old XvT era player. Its was all I did 🙂.
Used to go be the name "Antllies"
We were known as "The Real Rogue Squadron" (TRRS)

"The Cavern Angels" (TCA)
