Did you know that.... (Discovery edition)

[Syrus]

- shooting small rocks would drop the ore in space instead of filling your cargo hold directly. This would often lead to miner creating massive "ore clouds".

- such ore clouds would often be blown up by "pirates" (or just stolen by a transport flying through them and tractoring everything).

- mining with a bonus was possible with any weapon, as long as you had one mining turret mounted (and a miner ship+IFF+ID), this would mean that many people had 1 mining turret and 1 Bluebell Chaingun (16.67 refire).

- snub miners would get a bonus compared to transport miners.

- Mafics (nowadays replaced by the Arrastra) were absolutly deadly.

- IMG once used CR ships.

- Zephyr.

- CR was once allied with Corsairs. So was the Order.

- Dublin was once one of the busiest systems.

- T23 was almost every day raided by OC dreads. They often sat around Java, since the old base couldn't hurt them.

Guess I haven't been around for too long, so, just some .85 stuff that I remember.
