I remember when cloud bombing was a balanced and fun way to bomb planets and planets were actually able to defend themselves against the occasional AI tranny.
I remember when pawnerZ, Boomshot and me were still Lords af lag xD
I'm really glad I'm not lagging anymore, but it was really funny sometimes

I remember when I had an Escort Dessy with K'luth beams and UGTO armor. People always yelled at me for using the ED, because at the time it was considered OP... but it was the best ship I could use at the time. Meh. I also remember it being very dead with no AI on... and there were times you could cloudbomb, cap, and build like 8 planets before anyone so much as bothered you.

I remember when K'luth would ECM Fort planets, making life hard.
And I remember Doran in a supply engineer, faithfully following me to death in those ECM forts.

i remember when ICC got a 25% resistance to energy weapons buff and owned all for a week... till they took it back away.
I remember when combat supply was one of the most respected and needed positions to fill.
I remember when ICC could kill you from 1950gu away with cannons.
I remember when PCMs would fire upwards of 5000gu to a target.
I remember when making a cloud bomb capable Dread took months of planning and hard work. (took me 4 months to build my first cloud bomb capable bomber Dread)
I remember when seeing a ship modded with all blue enh was a rare sight and one that would make you tremble with fear.
I remember when a mis-jump sending you within 800gu of a enemy planet ment you were about to have a really really really bad day.
I remember when bombing planets took skill, craftsmanship, and teamwork.
I remember when me and opposition invented jetstream cloud bombing in bomber destroyers to cloudbomb planets even vets could not at the time. (was how we got reqruited into FS)

I remember when you were badly damaged, your systems such as jump drive had to be manually self-repaired before you could use them again.
I remember when the multiverse was all one server and it lagged so bad that people jumped into planets that were 10k gu away.
I remember when you could add and upgrade your own devices. Then with people adding more devices than they were suppose to due to lag, they could have a frigate one shot a dreadnaught.
I remember when I used to be apart of an icc fleet back in 2006, but then took such a long break that I had forgotten the name of it.

I remember..
When scenario servers were always full
Planets had resources depending on what type they were, and a base resource that counted toward your faction so you could pull ships out of the gate
Fleet wars (And winning them )
Tiny planets that with max structures unable to have inf
Jumping for 30 minutes out to Carn/DP just so I could solo cloudbomb a few planets before other people could show up
The amazing map editor
Theres a whole lot more, spent way too much time on this game

I remember when EAD's could cloak, and K'Luth dessies could fit CL 2000's. Hell, I remember when CL 2000's existed...

CL 2k's actually felt powerful, especially when used on k'luth ships.
rip and tear powerful

I remember when ships had less weapon slots so when they are engaged in combat, ship maneuver actually meant something.
I remember back in 480, Jim Starluck lead a 20+ icc fleet through a gate and crashed all the MV servers.
I remember when Shift + Space was still highly effective against fast moving targets.
I remember when flying a supply was as important as being a medic/healer. Now they die from a few hits...
I remember when recognized player names strikes fear, now recognized ship strikes fear.
