Ok so the best time was definitely my very 1st Disco time and that was year ago when I undocked with beautiful CSV in front of Malta. Across there was @Stefz in his MNS-Star*Wolf fighting MNS-Leviathan. Sarissa vs Ranseur... mhm.
My first faction was OC and 101st. This screenshot gives me so many good memories... fun times ayy
Mine had to be back in 2010 when i took my new zoner corvo out around Pennsylvania and ran into Keepers.Xisuthros, and this was my first one on one encounter with a Keepers faction nomad. It was also the first time i experienced some of the mindshare RP and mind altering stuff that went on. It sparked an interest in the nomads for my zoner at the time "Jared.Harrison" which has been a sorta inspiration for my current zoner character "Kelly Durham" since i put alittle curiousity about nomads and their behaviors into her character.
No clue who the player was that flew as Keepers.Xisuthros or if theyre still around. But it was an awesome introduction into the more friendly nomads out there
I "grew up" in the Dublin Madness when Gold Ore to NY was a thing... when the California-NY gate was almost never safe. It was awesome, and it left me with playing IMG ever after.
24/7 Gamma raids of 2011 for me. Great fun, having fought on both sides, especially when Theta was a huge activity hub. Too bad the Ossie/Sabre nerfs along with Omicron Lambda killed those playerbases off.
Also, Texasburg. Those were the most tactically advanced capital fights Discovery has ever seen. Triple-missile LABCs, missile Donaus, crazy Mississippi, jumpturtles, Project.Dragon and so on.
