Another one from me.
I remember when Supply Ships were armed to the teeth with guns and torpedos and could easily kill a dessie.

I remember when watching a dread explode was a new experience, and just sitting there slackjawed as Tael's Missile Dreadnaught slowly flipped forward past my destroyer, trailing debris and flames, and exploded behind it.
Oh how I wish I had recording software back then to preserve that moment.

-I remember when I used to be an annoying pompous newbie and used to be sanctioned for being a trouble-maker.
-I remember when compensation was a tremendous fad.
-I remember when we used to fight into more systems than the 3/4 we're using now.
-I remember when wormholes were in use.

I recall a time you could Dock your ship with another ship. (even enemies)
I recall a time when you could Dock your ship and Jump. the other ship would jump with you. (corvette jumping station around the map)
I remember the time when you had to STOP moving to get your ship to jump (yes 0.0gu/s)
I remember the days when you e-jumped at speeds above 0.0gu your entire ship would take damage. (jump drive, engines, hull)
I remember the days that GCQL didn't had tabs
I still like the good old times of slower jump speeds and recharge times. i played in scenario in those days, and it took team planning to win the map..
The good old days, i/we miss em.

I remember that. Docking with friendly and enemy ships for lulz. Think I freaked a few enemy supply ships out when I docked with them instead of shooting them hah.

I remember Kitsayumo having to have his parents sent a email to be allowed to play a game.
I remember when the MV was reset when one faction won the map.
I remember making Backy rage log because I could kill his ead in a claw
I remember Nicea being the hottest property in the game
I remember there was a system that had no sun, that took a massive jump to get to, and you couldnt see it at all unless u owned a planet there...and it had some...sexually suggestive names.....
I remember when saying "Nim in a bomber" was the equivelant of saying "Nim".
I remember being able to target specific systems on a ship to damage.
I remember being able to drop troops on a ship and see their progress, or even pull them back off again.
I remember 20 hard def planets in Nicea - that would be 10 def bases, 10 fighter bases, and in a cluster of 9 planets built the same way.
I remember being able to bomb and drop 10 troops in an advanced tranny, and it would be a 1 run, 1 cap if u did it right.
I remember inventing offset cloud bombing ( probably still a post on it in Evil forums)
I remember owning CEC in Procyon server because I stopped them short in a dictor, and we had 12 dreads sitting there waiting.
I remember the AC being the most used ship in the MV.
I remember flux boats and flux siphons.
I remember when I used to have a life, before I joined this damned game.
