Ok guys, I seem to be forgetting many aspects of DS that have changed over the years, so this thread is for the vets to add their own memories of aspects of the game so others might remember.
I'll start with one that I was reminded by in the beta forum.
1. Being able to group with people. Man that was crazy.
and I'll add one more
2. The missile dread having no rear armor -_-

4) K'luth using CL2k
5) Being able to cap a planet with only 5 inf. (Before Inf stacking was around  )

1. Targets being square (not diamonds).
2. Jump drives being much, much slower.
3. Docking to trade with ships
4. Jumpgates linking systems the MV
5. Demorian thinking that going at 27.0 gu/s was "warp speed".

You weren't actually here way back then were you Backslash? I need someone to cooberate (yeah, I know I spelled that wrong okay? Im not looking it up) that story.
Heres as far back as I go
-S1
-Demorian sneaking on the computer late at night to play darkspace
-Sneaking on the computer late at night to play darkspace with him.
-Going through JGs in the MV and coming out IN A DIFFERENT SHIP
-Factories made metal
-Switching sides every 15 minutes, because thats how often DS crashed and your team was always full.
- Making PCM clouds (oldschool for some people)
edit- I forgot one - sore cheek muscles from flying a claw.
Sorerer cheek muscles from the scarab
