Fond Memories:
Schwalbe:
One of my first pilot matches, more than year ago. Without using a mic I led a group of fresh people in novice match (I had SOME knowledge from flying with Disaster and Alko), used ally as a bait and slaughtering everyone 5-0.
That intense match against Bionics and Jim, when I wanted to fuck one bastard up for mocking my accent, and Specialists switched sides - it was the Paritan Rumble and I managed to win 5:3 with blenderfish (I believe?), by sneaking up on bastards.
That one Labirynth match where everyone took FULL munkers, and that one idiot who touched the mine... in something like 90 mines minefield (though the game lagged for next 6 bloody minutes).
Dementio:
I almost forgot the best moment I had with Extirminator: You guys know that achievement where you need to spot ships at a distance of 2km+? We were on that 4v4 Battle on the Dunes and Ext needed exactly 4 more spots, so I did the only reasonable thing one could do in this situation: Made him turn around and spotted all 4 enemy ships first. Took him two more months to get the achievement. The cruelest part of it all may be that I didn't even have any spotting achievement myself.

--- Quote from: HamsterIV on October 29, 2015, 03:13:32 pm ---Speaking of the old Lobby days, I remember several occasions in lobby when that one guy joined and refused to follow the captain's instructions for load out. Instead of forcing one captain to fly with a sub optimal crew the entire lobby exited and reformed with the same ships and teams in a brand new lobby. There was no jockeying for better team mates, or sticking your opponent with a disadvantage. Just the unspoken understanding that one person can ruin the experience for an entire ship, even if the ship was an enemy that round, those players deserve better.

I remember those days. Did it quite a few times. If people wanted achievements they'd ask and we'd work them in but if they outright refused or were just angry about it, we'd speak up and then the whole lobby would reform. It was a great way to deal with problem players back in the early days. They just never got to play. Trolls existed but never for long. If someone didn't like it they learned quickly who the bosses were.
I don't remember that happening much after the first Russian invasion period. It was hard to combat that many people jumping in at once and their behavior was so bad at times it just made you outright leave instead of trying to work around it.
IvKir:
Well.. i'm, maybe, not the competitive player and my clan never have been seen in tournaments (mostly because my crew, he-he, is my parents and my brother), but we still have a lot of good and fond memories.
I remember my first flight as gunner for Lockhart.
Remember how i first captained my ship in first match, trying to make it work.
I remember how i argued with my father, the all-mighty Mirage, about how we should shoot, and when.
Remember how we first battled with Polaris against some old-time vets. And how awesome it was!
I remember first 3vs3 match, where i had to take a fleet commander role and almost got an mental BSOD. xD
And, of course, first time in Paritan Rumble, map with which i fall in love momentarily. And first victory there against two hwacha fishes.
And i can't forgot a good match there against Polaris with theyr good-damn-my-balloon lumberfish.
I think there was too much good moments.)
So yeah. It's an awesome game. And it gave me and my family a lot of fun moments.
The Mann:
I have never known someone to play this game with their family, that is quite impressive.
I have had many matches which I have enjoyed.
I once joined a game as a captain and my teammate was level 45. I tried to swap ships with the enemy team who had considerably lower levels. No one wanted to swap.
Me, wanting to try and balance the game then decided. I will bring out the Flares Of Eternity.
That is the name of my triple flare squid. Only used it 7 times...
This was one of those days. I got everyone to equip Heatsink Rounds and we charged in full on moonshine and impact bumpers. the other item was hydro to dodge their Spire's Hwacha.
Was a lot of fun. 2 ram kills and a happy crew listening to fine music and we sadly won... :-\
So far, to date, I have won about 6 of the 7 times I have used that ship and I only use it when there is no alternatives :(
I would love for there to be an achievement for stupid builds like that. I could get a tag called "Insane"
