My screenshots are long gone, but I remember chasing traders off our backs in Order space, when they were using the shortcut in Major before the Dyson stuff was closed. I didn't play 84 more than two months or so, but it was fun. 85 was... dunno.
i remember starting up shooting silver in colorado, and dropping off xeno pilots for money to buy a rhino.
i remember an XA cruiser drifting up to me, saying 'hello xeno killer' and blowing my little mammoth up, and then continuing the conversation from his trader. I remember contacting a merc in game and bountying him - hey, he metagamed, so did i, there's no innocent people here alright!
i remember skipping past the RHA in my lvl 29 x-shuttle. no-one really worked out that i was ALWAYS lvl 29, until i bought a liner.
i remember regretting buying the liner immediately, as it would get stuck on every single trade lane.
i remember a hell of a lot more nomad visits to ny, etc.
i remember a pitched cap battle between the order and the SA (LN as was)
i remember some dark days too... of corrupt admins, and of a particular server operator whose imminent pvp defeat would lead to unpredictable server instability.

.82 was the best version of the mod, IMO.
biskit, your age is getting to you. you joined in 84. 83 at most...
