Guys stop repeating ones already done, alo this isnt the memorial thread, cmon, do stuff theyd actually care about, not your old friends.

Mollys used to have thier own mining field with a bonus, and had a bigger mining faction than the BMM! Dusty trolled the molly mining thread.

Rename certificates were sold on major capital planets, one needed to buy it, then catch up admin in order to manually rename his ship for him.

There was no ship sales command set, the best way to share/sell ships was to keep each single ship on single account.

MIner IDs were not rephacked but allowed to pirat other Miners.
Dusty made troll group flying Miner IDed BIg Dragoons pirating the shit out of nub Penny Silver Ore miners.

Snac/Inferno 4 Codes barghest was scary ship. SNAC/Inferno bomber combos were op because they were short simultaneously and due to the better speed of the Inferno if both hit fighters got instant killed even on full hull and shield, and this was after the double nova bombers from 4.84 that were even more OP. Inferno on heavy bomber was taking so little energy that it could be enabled among the 4 codes group and shot on refire rate speed, same story for the codes. Double razor bombers were inferior compared with SNAC/Inferno bombers.

Smuggling was actually profitable and fun, there were big Alpha-New York smuggling convoys protected by cruiser and fighter escorts, killing the navy protecting the Planet was the way to deliver the Cardi.

Not skilled 4.85 Solaris/Razor/Missile Osiris were able to kill 4-6 fighters/bombers alone.

All of the old import miners were just fantastic designs and fantastically deadly.
They shall be missed.

...mercs used to be illegal in Liberty?

..there used to be a "tech chart," meaning that you had to have permission from a faction to use their gear, and there were no tech nerfs, so you could occasionally have combos like mercenaries in Sabres with Xeno and Corsair guns at the same time at full energy efficiency? (*cough*reavers*cough*)

...the Reavers used to be something to actually be feared?

...the Coalition used to use then-IMG ships with Terrorist IDs and Xeno IFFs, allied with the Corsairs?

...the Artificial Intelligence ID used to be SRP-only?

...there was a planet in Tau-31 with a misaligned docking ring, so if you tried to dock, the atmosphere would instantly kill you?

...RP used to be optional on the entire server, and even after the server became strictly RP-only, it was still only optional in New York for awhile?

...the only way to get to Connecticut was through a jumphole in New York?

...Discovery was originally a Star Wars mod (hence all the imports we used to have)?

...the Outcasts used to have multiple official factions, including the Blue Lotus Syndicate and Shadow Outcast Brigade, amongst others?

...the original creator of Discovery, Igiss, is Russian, and the mod has been featured in real-life Russian gaming publications, leading to occasional influxes of players who speak no English?

That there's been over 4 attempts at an official Unione Corse faction, until an actually stable one was finally made official?

Junkers used to have powerful enemies.
