Post by: Kamoba on March 16, 2016, 08:38:47 am
I'm not that old, but..

Match Maker was brand new, maybe a day or two old, so the salt was real.

Tover Twatch was a competitive team.

Pyramidion was the only choice of ship.

Flamer was something to be feared by every ship and ship build so long as the ship didn't have great chem cycles.

People knew what a chem cycle was! (Mention chem cycle now and people get confused!)

Hwacha was just the Lion Gun.. Now it's the LION GUN FUCK YEAH!

People who piloted Squids were either bat shit crazy or incredibly good pilots.

SPQR had two teams that competed almost every event!

Cakes were incredibly active.
Gents were well known and active.

LeonXross 4v4 with 4 mobula all Hades, sitting ontop of each other to make a highly visible, very deadly tower.

Richard LeMoon harpoon moonshine galleon.

Any weapon combination on a pyramidion was somewhat effective.

Blenderfish were in a good state and often picked over hwacha fish.

Light carronade component sniping.

Not having stamina

Chemspray all day everyday on high level ships

"Squid is a disable ship"

An entire hwacha volley at close range getting one-two/no component disables

Blenderfish v blenderfish, the ultimate component sniping game

Flamethrower disabling not just my components, but my framerate aswell

750 hull on spire, pretty much a 4 star ship

Burst flamethrower.

Lesmok flamethrower meta

Labyrinth 600 points, gave enough time for teams to mount a comeback

Light carronade oneclipping balloons

Or you get even older and remember when it was three times as bad as now (and people said it wasn't OP).

Oh and, engaging 1v3 as Squid in Crazy Kings, defending one single point so the entire enemy team couldn't capture it.

Speaking of Squids, when you could activate Tar by switching to that tool for a fraction of a second and away again so your engines won't get damaged.

Flakfish domination, Lochnamerc, and the Squid was not yet invented (nor the Mobula), Russian Release 'J' Invasion, but I bet those have already been mentioned.

Also, my personal favorite, when the ship masses were programmed incorrectly, which meant that a Squid could harpoon a galleon and whip it around the map into a cliff.  Or, you could harpoon two galleons and slam them together.

Metamidions, Lobbies of Icarus without Matchmaker (a.k.a. the Eternity Clock) even with hundreds of players online (back in the days when you would create a lobby with a map you actually wanted to play!), skill based leveling.  Competent, friendly crews, a feeling of actually being in command of a well tuned fighting machine.  Those oh so satisfying moonshine-driven Pyramidion ram kills with all guns blazing to soften up the target first.  Not having to soften up the target if it was a Spire. :D

I really miss the old game, and didn't really realize it until I read this thread. :'(  The current version is really formula and quite boring, it wants to be a modern FPS game with a retro feel and fails everywhere :(
Title: Re: Prove you're oldfag
Post by: HamsterIV on January 14, 2017, 01:13:07 am
skill based leveling. 
You mean when you could only get max level if you could convince your crew and possibly ally ship to take a silly build so you could have a chance at making a harpoon kill? Those were good times.
