Do you remember the first time you saw a Corporate Cruiser? The first time those Thermonuclear missiles started pouring in and you didn't know where the heck they were coming from? I was just thinking about that... Any other fun first experiences you can remember about this game?

About 30 seconds after gating into Point Juno the very first time I saw the 'sparkle' in a nebula so I went to investigate. My frieghter with a tiny shield and an omni laser did not let me fully appreciate what was happening.

I always stop and double check my equipment layout before entering Charon now.

I remember my first cometfall encounter...

*whoosh**whoosh**whoosh*boom!boom!boom!

Somehow, the cometfalls all lined up nicely and neatly, and then proceeded to shoot each other in the rear >.<. Then all the centurions swarmed the remaining one (The lucky guy in the rear) and blew it up. Not a single missile hit the station.

I remember the first version of the Stephinian Archcannon. It shoots out 6 guided projectiles, which do a little fragmenting fragments of fragments of fragments thing... Thank god they had the sense to put Ctrl-Alt-Del in windows. The archcannon now only shoots three projectiles, but it still slows down the game a good bit.
[schilcote] It doesn't have to be good, it just has to not be "wow is that the only thing you could think of" bad
