    I think 2015-2016 for me too. A big fan of the computer, logic and rail system, I enjoyed making contraptions and machines. It was exiting with new updates coming out regularly with new features. Oh and I loved it when the etheral rails and the fleet system came out. I could see so much potential in the game if those were expanded on. Especially if humanoid MOBs and non-humanoid, were expanded on we could probably use them to expand the game play more.

    It's interesting that everyone mentions the 2015-2016 (or earlier - 2016) time period. Seems like everyone can basically agree on that being kind of the golden age. If only we could have a server with a roled back version of that time period and maybe enhance stability and content with mods a little bit. I feel like that kind of server would be quite populated...

    It's been done, (forget it), graphic advances alone (which were good)... in all seriousness: nobody wants to go back to that "Era"...
    and sadly the game has not advanced much since then...aside from swapping "this block for that block", and the occasional buff or nerf.
    Main reason most players left is because Schine ignored game-developement and server-stability.

    I also doubt anybody is willing to "put in the hours" required to patch old systems with new graphics (even if it would be super-cool).

    My "golden-age" was 2018-2020.
    new graphics...
    new power...
    weapons 3.0...
    it was all good, but beyond that: still the same half finished, buggy mess as before.

    Me personally I dont think it was the game that was better then, I actually prefer it now. What i miss is the community of that time period.

    My main experience and favourite time of the game was from 2015 - 2017. Since then and starting work etc. I haven't had the time to properly sit down, open the launcher and get going on this amazing game.

    Just about to start getting back into it. Hope to see you all about.

    Got to be 2014 onwards I'd say. I think I'd joined the CR by then and it was a pretty cool time. 2015-16 we had a few comebacks to the game as a group and they were fun, but not quite the same. After that it was a bit dead. Don't know how it's been 7 years though.

    Edit: the second generation CR collapsed by January of 2014, so I'd say 2013 probably.

    I don't suppose you are the guy who used to work with Komatodik on stealth ships as a private contractor. Lone wolf from memory, lone puppy seems a bit coincidentally named.

    I just looked through my old screen shots and I'd have to say 2013-2014 the game was fresh and new to me and I built most of my ships in this time. Since then I've just been constantly refitting the original ships I built and adding a few more to the fleet here and there.
