Heck, you can even blame Star Trek for why I'm here at Disco, even.
Back in the day, I used to go to Lancers Reactor where all the mods were, and I downloaded several of the Star Trek ship mods for my single player game. After flying around Sirius in a TOS Cruiser and Destroyer, I decided that maybe I'd like to play some of the other mods available.
And the most popular mod was Disco - so I downloaded it, played singler player, and then one scary and fateful day --- went online into multi-player. (Mostly shortly after the time we got cable internet, since I lived out in the country and playing anything multi-player on dial-up is simply an exercise in masochism). The rest is disco history ...
