Apoctasy The Python Cartel. The Jerk Cartel	Posted - 2010.06.30 18:51:00 - [31] Back in my day, we had to travel 10 kilometers to each gate (no warp to zero) :p
Liang Nuren Parsec Flux War.Pigs.	Posted - 2010.06.30 18:52:00 - [32] Originally by: Mendolus wtb EVE circa Trinity! I really enjoyed Eve back when I was a real noob (RMR? Bloodlines?) Anyway... Pre-Revelations. I remember going out to PVP in low sec in my T1 fit Vexor, and living up in Deklein killing battleship rats (much to everyone's amazement!) with my **** skills and T1 fit Vexors/Thoraxes/Myrms. Raiding Raven ratters in Venal with my noob/nos Myrm, losing a few billion ISK in deadspace mods and crystal implants to a blue gatecamp, my first supercap drop out in CZDJ/UBX, almost nailing a VETO prophecy in Mara with my nos myrm.. before getting my face blobbed off . The unnerfed Privateer alliance \o/, Syndicate back before Red Skull alliance was roaming... Yeah. Eve's had a good run. :) -Liang -- Liang Nuren - Eve Forum ***** Extraordinaire
Chai N'Dorr Rumrunner Logistics	Posted - 2010.06.30 18:59:00 - [33] Every ship warped as fast as every other ship... better read: warped as slow as; 1 au was the norm. Cruise Kestrels, oh the fun! Battleships with no stacking modifiers pwnd all (waves to m0o). Mining in an Imicus till you finally could afford a cruiser to mine in and then on to a BS. Harvester mining drones... wonder what these go for now. Mines! Wonder if they'll ever come back. Looking at just over 1500 people online and thinking "Wow, busy night/day." Ratting in 0.0 in a Rifter and standing a chance... well, most of the time. Just a few memories _

Eve's had a good run. :) -Liang LOL yea, that kinda talk is what makes me wish I could play the game in reverse from Trinity backwards... cuz going forwards has not quite been as entertaining as I had hoped it would be in the long run. I guess it's like anything else tho, when you get to pioneer the game experience in its infancy and as a burgeoning game platform it is almost always a very exciting time because everything is so new and fresh and every little accomplishment means the world, it's like the common belief that most people covet the times they had in their childhood cuz it was all so new and exciting and they hadn't had the spirit pounded out of them yet, rofl. {...and they will respect a line drawn in the sand more than forgiveness}
Hacra Minmatar Cosmodynamics Joint Venture Conglomerate	Posted - 2010.06.30 19:22:00 - [38] I remember the days when +5 implants were 600-500M each (oh i wish they'd still be), hulks went for same price since some cough lucky one had bpo(s). I remember the days when i lived in wicked creek (2-3 years ago?), when one red came to local and it was docking extravaganza. I remember fall of empires and shifting of power, i remember the time when titans weren't mundane and 1 billion isk was a lot of money. I remember time when people actually used battleships in lowsec. Also as side note; Nano typhoon, that did 10km/s <3 i wish this still would be the case.
Bobo Biggles Gallente Legio Decimus Inc	Posted - 2010.06.30 19:45:00 - [39] I remember reading the news that a Player owned Titan had been built. Spending hours setting up bookmarks for mining ops, so that you didn't have to slow boat to the stations. Getting scammed in the "new" contract system and buying 1 zydrine for tens of Millions of ISK because the contract stated that it was thousands of units. Calling up a friend who was thinking of playing to tell him that I had managed to make over a million ISK from mining in one day, using my shiny new cruiser. Finally getting my skills to the point where I could fly Ogre II's in my Myrmidon and having Bandwidth introduce 2 days later. Being one of the first log in after the expansion that added salvaging (forget which one that was). Buying the BPO for salvage units. Manufacturing the first salvage units in the region I was in, carefully calculating how much ore it took to build them, figuring out how much it cost to build them, adding in just a bit for profit, then putting the 7 units I had built on the market at 35k each, watching them sell out in 15 seconds and go back up on the market for 12million each, then watching those sell out in 15 seconds. (I didn't factor in supply and demand).
Grez M. Corp Daisho Syndicate	Posted - 2010.06.30 19:52:00 - [40] I remember double MWD's and Bumpageddon's. I remember shield tanked Megathron's and Steve's death. I remember Vagabond's costing 400m and I remember Nano-phoon's. ---
Guillame Herschel Gallente NME1	Posted - 2010.06.30 19:54:00 - [41] Edited by: Guillame Herschel on 30/06/2010 19:55:42 Torpedoes and rockets worked like bombs do today: they traveled for a bit in the direction you were pointed and exploded, doing splash damage. These were the unguided missiles. Standard missiles, Heavy missiles and Cruise missiles were guided and worked like they do now: track the target until it hits, and only did damage to the ship they were fired at. There were no Heavy Assault missiles. Also, you could put any missile into any launcher, if its magazine had enough room. Standard launchers could fit one Cruise missile if I recall correctly. Assault Launchers could cram a Torpedo in there. I also seem to remember that when you jumped into a system through a gate you appeared on the other side at a random point in the system, not at a random point 15km from the outbound gate. So gate camping was always done on the inbound side, not the outbound. -- Nah, that's just my Asperger's kickin' in.
Guillame Herschel Gallente NME1	Posted - 2010.06.30 19:58:00 - [42] Originally by: Hacra I remember the days when +5 implants were 600-500M each I remember when +4 implants cost that much. -- Nah, that's just my Asperger's kickin' in.
Amarante Idama Gallente Drunken Armed Pilots G String University	Posted - 2010.06.30 19:59:00 - [43] I remember when range modifiers on ammo didn't work, but damage modifiers did. There was no reason to ever use anything but antimatter. I remember when missiles were AOE. I remember when low security space had arkanor. I remember being mad that I started right after ship customization was removed. Now THAT'S old school. I remember when the Thorax was implemented. It was the best Gallente ship in the game at the time. I remember when max drones was 10. I remember mines. I remember Jove space. I remember a lot of things. Hopefully I'll come up with more later.
GavinGoodrich Destry's Lounge Important Internet Spaceship League	Posted - 2010.06.30 20:02:00 - [44] Edited by: GavinGoodrich on 30/06/2010 20:02:33 Myrm has epic face time with Tourney camera. Looks gorgeous. CCP Soundwave: "Hey anyone in Amamake, can you get this myrm out of the camera shot?" Myrm hears it, runs off the camera immediately, 80 bajillion ships warp in. Everyone laughs. \o
Rellik B00n Lethal Death Squad	Posted - 2010.06.30 20:08:00 - [45] hi, You could fly through low sec (I know right!) in a cruiser or a battlecruiser and find at least one person per system mining, ratting or looking for a fight. Once the fight started it tended to be you vs one, or maybe two to three max. Everyone had a single multispec fitted and it added real spice to a fight as you were randomly jammed/jamming throughout. This allowed for protracted and fun fights. sigh. + LDSkill+hireLDS
Bruno Capri Minmatar The Scarecrows	Posted - 2010.06.30 20:11:00 - [46] Two corps that heavily influenced Eve at the beginning. Taggart Transdimensional M0o _______________ ₪Fight the Power
digitalwanderer Gallente DF0 incorporated	Posted - 2010.06.30 20:15:00 - [47] Originally by: Yumis Edited by: Yumis on 30/06/2010 18:50:18 soonÖ appearing in nearly every one of CCPs comments The big alliances being VA-NVA, FA, CA, SA CCP Selling Quafe Heh,i used to belong to the original FA aliance in fountain in early 2004,when the corp i belonged to(eve marshals),joined them. Prior to that,the corp was mostly doing NPC farming in delve and querious,and before that,we were travelling to providence for NPC farming,which is when CCP introduced the Castor patch and BS spawns in 0.0 space,and those spawns were much harder than they are today,as they were groups of 15~20 ships with multiple tacklers and spawned 20 kms from where we were. I was barely a 6 month newb back then,and still far from exploiting the full potential of a battleship,and a lost a lot of ships during that period,but it was a blast,and it was a shame that CCP caved into the pressure and made those spawns much easier to handle later on,as it just became boring.
Ben Derindar Dirty Deeds Corp.	Posted - 2010.06.30 20:16:00 - [48] No T2 ships. No POSs. No sovereignty. No capitals. No outposts. No jumpclones. No killboards. Better days. /Ben
Shinnen Caldari Association of Commonwealth Enterprises Gentlemen's Club	Posted - 2010.06.30 20:18:00 - [49] Edited by: Shinnen on 30/06/2010 20:18:56 Scorpions and Blackbirds with missile bonus. Invul's took too much cap to be viable. But what really stuns me, is that people starting today never knew a time before tractor beams. Edit: killmails. Concord used to send you a mail when you got the final blow hahaha
digitalwanderer Gallente DF0 incorporated	Posted - 2010.06.30 20:27:00 - [50] Originally by: Bruno Capri Edited by: Bruno Capri on 30/06/2010 20:18:37 Two corps that heavily influenced Eve at the beginning. Taggart Transdimensional m0o Edit: small "m" in m0o I was part of an FA fleet that flew to Tpar g in period basis where at least some of the members of mOo were based there....Reverend,lord zap,sassinak,TWD,among others... It was quite a chase to try and catch them as they were hauling ass back to empire space using warp to 0 bookmarks...We had them too of course.
Ghoest	Posted - 2010.06.30 20:28:00 - [51] My Kessie had 4 cruise missles that did full damage to other frigs and it fitted a 10 mn ab with no handling penalty. Wherever you went - Here you are.

Joe Starbreaker M. Corp	Posted - 2010.06.30 20:45:00 - [53] Edited by: Joe Starbreaker on 30/06/2010 20:53:19 I haven't been around too long, started in late 2007 (Revelations II) just before the new Trinity graphics were implemented. I thought the game was the most beautiful thing I'd ever played -- under the old graphics! One part of EVE history I played a role in is the discovery/invention of ninja salvaging. Back in 2007, it had been mentioned once or twice on the forums, as a hypothetical, that ISK might be made by scanning down mission runners and stealing the salvage, but few people were actually doing it. I went out, "invented" it (probably not the first, but it was an independent invention), spread the word, and taught it to my corporation. By the middle of 2008, people were talking about the "epidemic of salvage theft" on the forums, something which has continued to this day, and entrepreneurs such as Kahega Amielden and Tchell Dahn had turned it into a Really Big Thing. So, sorry about that, guys! ... Join M. Corp, see the Galaxy

Dan O'Connor Cerberus Network Dignitas.	Posted - 2010.06.30 21:30:00 - [56] Originally by: Yumis Edited by: Yumis on 30/06/2010 19:02:44 When MWDs didnt have sizes and you could have 2 on a BS for uber speed Need For Speed: Battleshift Coming SoonÖ Item DB \| Sigs
quellious Talion Federal Navy Opus Neith	Posted - 2010.06.30 21:38:00 - [57] There was a big unclaimed 0.0 region between FA and CA. Kestrel fit like 4 cruise launchers. (Or heavy, i'm not sure anymore). Corporations bought and shared 1 BS BPO. (Every corp in this deal pay 10% of the BPO, and got 1 BPC every 10 copied). We made 'thorax for everyone' corp mining operation. We camped 0.0 entry with 4 frigates. There was no Spy! (or they had almost no influence). There was no TS hack. When POS appeared, you fuel them in 0.0 with standard industrial ships, with 1 scout before,and 1 scout behind. BoB attacked our big POS with their every 4 DN :) And so on ... PS: Anyone remember the 'Moo' ? They camped low sec with BS, and were quite very well known :) - Did you noticed that a pendulum does not swing in deep space ?
Pookie McPook	Posted - 2010.06.30 21:42:00 - [58] Personally I pine for the days before the graphics upgrade. No AA.....ahhh those jaggy lines were sexeh! -----
thoth rothschild Aliastra	Posted - 2010.06.30 21:58:00 - [59] Edited by: thoth rothschild on 30/06/2010 21:59:07 I remember hunting a "speed raven" fitted with 3 MWD and got killed by a torp in my frig :) I remember the scorpion as the ultimate pvp ship I remember hitting frigs & such with a megathron easily. I do remember my kestrel fitted with siege launchers which could fire torps and/ or cm. I remember ..... the dust of the past. m0o!
rowbin hod Cloak and Daggers Honourable Templum of Alcedonia	Posted - 2010.06.30 21:58:00 - [60] Which corp was it that famously sat in Yulai tanking Concord and blowing up anyone that flew past? Back in the days when people providing RR didn't get agro. I think there were a few bans for that incident.
