I was playing there before I started discovery (about 8 months ago). The times I spend on that server were better than the times I have spent here to be honest. But it had some bad things that caused me to leave.
1) If you can't speak german, you don't even get a forth of the respect you would get if you could (neither from the admins nor from most of the other players)
2) It was vanilla so everyone had eagle with 4 nomad guns and either 2 tizonas or a tizona and a kraken type 2
3) There was a cheater who the admins refused to ban because there wasn't a solid evidence that he cheated (he had 99% hit rate and could should weapons from the back of the ship).
However, it had some awesome ideas like
1) Clanbases. Each clan could buy each own clanbase and had to defend it from the other clans. Attacking and Defending a clanbase was always fun.
2) The bounty hunting system.
3) The char manager
4) The ability to dock on the players that had cruiser or osiris (Even though this would be useless in discovery because when you die, you have a 4 hour penalty)
