.83 Nostalgia month?

[mjolnir]

And the Cupholder was as agile as a sabur, with arcangels.... and fafnir was less of a brick and more like a epic win.

Upholder was always exactly the same as it is now, same for Fafnir, only change was the bomber guns.

IMMA FIREIN MY SUPERNOVA + INFERNO FALCATA 8-|

Falcata was introduced first in 4.84


=> You both fail


===========================================================

For the record in 4.83

- all vanilla fighters (Guardian, Avenger, Templar, Wrath, Eagle, Titan, Chimaera, BD VHF) died to 1 Nuke, 1 Sunslayer or 2 Cannonballs

- the above vulnerability resulted in extremely large part of server population flying Raven's Talon (had something like current Wrath agility back then)

- Nomad Blasters/Cannons were used also by just about everyone

- every gun bare Kraken, Buckshot and Tizona had much worse stats than now (500 m/s speed on plasmas, ca -20% damage on all guns)

=> Standard battle was NovaPG(Dragon faction) in RTs with Tizonas and Nomad Blasters mounted attacking Corsairs (also in RTs) in Gamma

- Nomad thruster was the best so it was used by every fighter on server

- all high-end fighter gear (mk 8 armor, lvl 10 shields, best thruster..) was only available in what's currently called Omicron Kappa, so setting up a new fighter anywhere in sirius ment having to fly to Kappa to get the gear

- BS(and cruiser) flaks could insta-kill just about any fighter, but had to be detonated by CD (which BS had then)

- there were only 2 bombers in game RH bomber (with 145 bats/bots) and Taiidan Bomber (HW model)

- Supernova did some 36k damage per shot and used 8000 energy, it could be mounted an used on any fighter with a torp slot, bombers could mount 2 so they could 1-2 instakill fighters

- Raven Claw was an LSF ship per infocard but was sold on Junker base in o-15 and the RHA when it started was flying these quite often

- the most used traderoute in game was prisoners between planet Harris and Battleship Mcduff (in orbit of the planet), one run took under a minute and gave you about 1.5 million credits (using the biggest transport there was - Large Train with 4500 cargo). This rather labor-instensive yet extremely boring trade run result huge group of constantly bored people talking and arguing about just about anything in system chat in Tau31.
