I remember Luth Death planet and the skill it took to take them.
When UGTO would shroom spam and in responce ICC would missle spam the server to death.
MI could not insta kill anything.
Planets could defend them selfs against even scouts.
Amusing to see a scout venture near an ICC Offence planet and watch all the missles it fired off

i remember getting destoyed by the lut TB fleet
i remember ugto people showin me all kinds of exploitz, to "even" thing out" against luth (lol ugto was still doomed)
i remember salvation came in the form of cloud bombing, witch i been taught to exploit to the fullest, followed by a classic tranny rush.
i remember when steveyk was new and enthousiastic to learn, and followed u to the end of space.
I remember most of those players dont exist now, or made alts because of the big "beer spil", forgot the year, just know i was young lol and lotsa ppl qq about lost prestige, but eventually make new chars... including me hehe
i remember lotsa QQ and smacktalk i didnt understand cause i was 12 but actually told ppl im 25....
i remember capping whole of metaverse in 2 hours
i remember going to a planet in a cruiser, then planet defense kills me before i could turn and run away.
i remember when new ppl where the encouraged, trained, everything was done to keep them where they began, and to train em to rule the metaverse...which still took about 6 months though
i remember me saying getting a bronze combat medal is impossible untill i could fly a dread
i remember darkscorpion (the real one, not the recent one) and friends, fight rsm, and win, with only half the numbers.
i remember icc people being totally elite, and calling all new ppl bad names to make em leave, so that icc elite status stays intact.
i remember that this version of darkspace is an old one...
i remember when u could change lasers for projectiles, making picket dessie very nice
i remember when planet management was more important, cause u needed specific resources to make specific ship parts, like better engines, weaps etc.
i remember a seriously low player base, and a reason the term "deadspace" was invented.
I remember the update including ai, the pro's and cons, and how i totally liked the idea back then, but doubting now...

i remember when...
.483 was new.
Kluth were underpowered.
beacons were a permenent decloak.
Arc bug was rampant.
lag was killer.
the EAD was next to useless.
Destroyers ruled the day.
QST Driveby's were done regularly.
hell... the entirety of .483 and beyond.

I remeber when the metaverse was large and diverse.
I remeber when Kluth dessies ruled
I remeber when I didnt have money to pay for this game
I remeber when could cloud bomb poorly built planets in my scout because i couldnt pay
I remeber when I was in ICARUS and for some reason I felt the need to add an N (INCARUS) because ....
I remeber when you were more afraid of planets than people.
I remeber when planets were important because they had unique resources.
I remeber when I didnt have a clue what i was doing and people would help me out.
I remeber when my trail period ran out and I thought the world was ending.
I remeber when I came back to the game came up with an origninal sounding name and started to pay.
I remeber when the game became half free to play
I remeber when most nights the only thing your could find on the mv was the AI
I remeber when the game became all free to play
I remeber when a system to buy upgrades was instituted (wonder where that one came from )
I remeber when I left ICARUS because i was the only active member and joined PB after a week long stint with my own fleet.

Ahhhh! My signature move!
I remember when the 483 Battle Station, was the best thing since the 482 Sabot Suppy. They could both give most Dreads a tough time, and kill anything smaller easily.

I remember when ICC was pretty much dead except for some newer players, and EAFS was the dominant ICC fleet.
At least I think I remember that. I might be making it up.

I remember when i first started this game and being amazed by how good DS looked. being amazed by the large realistic looking planets, moons, suns, etc. And i was also under the incorrect impression that the planets and moons actually moved in orbit. I would turn off my screen saver and just open DS and lock observation mode onto Balder in Ursa Minor and leave that as my screen saver.
I remember trying to figure out why i kept jumping into planets.
I remember being amazed that all these uggy dreads and stations completely dwarfed my tiny little n00b suppy
I remember participating in capping all of sag with UGTO and UGTO holding it for like 3 weeks.
I remember attacking luth AI for the first time and saying, 'WTH why does it keep disappearing?? WTH it heals so fast??'
Good times as a new guy
