Oh so long ago, back in August 2006, I was but a noob. A really big one at that, to be honest. If you search some posts from back then, you'll see just how much. But then, if you search for Dab as well, you'll see something similar... poor spelling, atrocious grammar, horrible reasoning... you know, like when you were a noob too?

Moving on to our first memory - balance: fighter vs cruiser.

Oh, and the Raven Claw was definitely a Junker ship when this was taken. And the [SF] were the precursor to the QCG, which were the precursor to the BAF|.

Nomad cannons you say? There must have been some funky RP behind that....

But moving on, my first real occupation was as a bounty hunter. I flew all manner of bounty hunter ships, and they all kinda looked like this.

That was the bounty hunter destroyer. Oh how times change.

Moving on again, this time to transports. Can you imagine trying to pirate one of these?

Notice the missile spam, and notice the full energy bar. Fun times to be had for all pirates.

And it wasn't called the Akegata back then, just the "Container Transport". Battlestar Galactica import? I think so...

Here's my second faction. There's a few interesting things here... the apparently Phantom cruiser, the Velasco[TBH] and our favourite old server host, Majkp, along with the then-leader, MrSNS

The Huntress, as it was called back then, was the Corsair cruiser. 12 guns forward, about 2 back. But who cares, it looks cool, right?

On the other hand, Velasco[TBH] is now the an SCRA battleship. The Havana, if I'm not mistaken. My memory is a bit fuzzy on this one, but the SCRA's first Osiris was once Corsair.

Maniaco[TBH] and Elder.Alexander[TBH], Majkp and MrSNS respectively. You barely hear their names anymore, which is kinda sad, since the latter founded the faction and the former is a complete legend.

Meanwhile...

RP? I don't know what that is, sir. You must be on the wrong server. The UOG were the precursor to the Molly Republic.

------------------

And the beginnings of my primary faction now, the [LN]

A humble entry as not a recruit or an ensign, but as a Second In Command. I get complaints that this happens these days too in the [LN], and it doesn't strike me as a valid reason.

[HF] docking on Toledo? That's a bit wierd....

But wait until you get a load of this!

Note: Zelot in the player menu.
Note: Tripoli Shipyard in the background.


And is that OPG I see?

Crazy days, my character didn't even have a surname back then! Kidding, she did, but it just wasn't in the character name.

That was a recon mission, by the way.

A mod update later, and this happened.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l153/McN...6/screen650.png

You know that Raven Claw used to be Junker? Well, now it's LSF, and we're using it. I'm also getting called an *******, but it's okay, because my first squeeze, Terrance, is there to defend me.:ylove:

Hey, Vasko. You know I asked about Bernd Schuster?

Pretty old isn't it? And isn't that a Viper from Battlestar Galactica?

Moving on a little...
http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l153/McN...6/screen707.png

I always knew Jes had a cowboy in him somewhere. Who knew that grumpy guy was a gunslinger from the wild west, right?

Moving back to the [LN], somebody told me recently that [SA] became [LN] under John Talon (AKA, Titan). I have to disagree sir. Chris Phelps was definitely still leading when that happened.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l153/McN...6/screen800.png

And people wonder why I don't like the LSF...

Unfortunately, there's a large hole in my screenshot folder from here until I rejoined [LN] under the aforementioned John Talon and now David Hale. This means that I can't show my best shot, which would be little whippersnapper ensign Daniel Hale... Nevertheless, there are many memories to be had, of balance, RP and general goodtimes.

I did miss the invasion of =CUFF= and the war between the Warriors of Aesir and the Coalition, though.

It makes me feel old, and I'm only 20.
You mean Havana.

Karl Marx was a gift from the Order to the SCRA in return for help against the Nomads.
Like a trip down ancient memory lane....those were the days. :cool:
I feel embarrassed. Yes, it was the Havana. Off I go to make a little edit.

Good times... I wonder what the good times of others have been? Feel free to share...

You got that messed up. WA didn't fight Coalition, AW did. That was before WA (the parent clan) showed up. Ironically, shortly after they showed up is when they started making ridiculous demands of me and I told them to screw off. Then they tried to lead an insurrection in AW and amongst the server, which was probably the most amusing fail I've ever witnessed. Seeing Igiss chew someone out was also entertaining.

Also, Huegenot (sp?) cruiser with 12 GB Missiles using 0 energy and doing old-GB missile damage. I got a lot of grief for using that ship, but I loved it. A proper missile cruiser.
Most of my old pics are old school XA images. I don't think anyone wants to be taken down that dusty lane of history.

That was not a play on words or anything,
Those were the days...

.82 was the best version of the mod, IMO.
Bah, Humbug

Good times, those are beautiful ships.

And the missle spam... so fun. You were guaranteed at least 1 hit...

Missle spamming gunboats... oh my the fun.

And the Union of Gold, hell ya.

And the numerous other factions, OPG... etc.
