Ooooh, that's a great story. On my first day, there was that Freeport 12 - New London trade event and I was powertrading there with my SS13 friends who showed me Disco. It was great even though we were flying with IC ID on a Serenity and Cranes. I remember, how we once tried to BREACH huge nomad 'siege' of FP12. Just cruised straight into FP12 and two out of five of us managed to dock. After that, we smuggled blood diamonds from Omega-11 to Manhattan, again, on a Cranes and with IC id. We had some great interactions because of our ids.
After that, some of us left the game and we started to think, what great transport ship we can buy to be able smuggle Blood Diamonds freely. That's how I found Council and L'Ane. After some preparations, I posted everyone's recruitment posts and we all got our L'Anes, who wanted. I am only one left from that group and I still have that exact L'Ane I bought 3 years ago. It was named [C]-CLT-Geghard (georgian monastery where Spear Of Longinus is loсated) but then Thyr told me to change name.
When I just joined [C] it also was first time I PvPed. I was on a Basilisk, was flying around in Magellan and stumbled upon huge bunch of people there, LN, Eidolon Wrath and Ishtar or something like that. I RPed with them a little bit then WESKER SHOWED UP on his Lynx and under Alice Marie alias. I was dead in 5 minutes. Good memories.
I grinded for weeks in a Bumblebee to buy an armorless Liberty Siege Cruiser only to get wasted in 5 seconds by 4 raiding Rheinland Military fighters in Texas. I was so impressed that I sold everything to buy a Wraith and donned an [RM] tag on it before I became an official member.

Back in 4.83, in 2007, cargo pods were equipped in the shield slot. So I took a CSV, named it Cargo.Pod, and equipped a cargo pod instead of a shield. The pod model is larger than the CSV, so I just looked like a drab cargo pod with an antenna sticking out of the top. I would sit in front of Manhattan talking in local about how I was so lonely that my owner had abandoned me and wondering where he was. Eventually, someone asked me how I could talk over the radio if I was just a cargo pod, at which point ten- or eleven-year-old me brilliantly responded "can't you see my antenna?"
