I've been here long enough to miss visiting Commander Roxy, and I miss the brand new AP dual beam bank I got from her the day before the Rep system dropped that disappeared from my inventory before I had a chance to equip it.

I still have all my AP Beams, and cannons, with the [Borg] proc.
Poor Roxy, reduced to being an information desk clerk.:(
I've been here so long I remember being able to get into STFs "Solo". All you had to do was click the mission for it to start (before the "It was always meant for 5 man teams" nerf).
I've been here so long that I still remember when Science Team used to grant shield damage reduction, Beam Overload disabled your phaser bank and Beam Fire At Will affected only a single beam.
here's a fun little thread idea for us vets, bring up something you do, or use in your build that comes from the olden days....
I've been here so long, that I still fly away from random NPC ships in sector space so they don't drag me into a fight.
and I've been here so long, that all of the weapons on my main toon's ship all have [Borg] proc's.
Hehe... I have noticed that the Mark XII guns on my Tactical consist of 1 Fleet and 2 [Borg] Phaser DHCs... Which I am now upgrading to Mark XIV. Maybe that's wasteful... But at least the Fleet Gun has turned into a Gold already.

I have been here so long I had to farm KASE more time than i wanted to count for one drop to complete my borg set. (I forget which stf dropped what but i remember KASE was the one I needed) I also still have weapons with the Borg Proc and i even remember when DS9 was the place to be to do anything.
I've been here so long my BORG set is Mk XI from the original STFs.
Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. ~ Cecil Beaton
I've been here so long that I remember when Tyken's Rift II plus a well timed quantum torpedo barrage at High Yield III = a dead target when their shields dropped for 5 sec right when the torps hit.
Had a lotta fun doing that in my Prometheus back then.
I have been here so long that I remember when the EP was a guy named Zinc, DStahl was the guy that came in to restart the server when it crapped out during Beta Weekends and a guy named Gozer was going to fix pvp.
I've been here so long I have a bat'leth with a [Borg] mod.
I've been here so long I remember when the best possible shield was Covariant Mk X [Cap]x3.
I've been here so long I collected Particle Traces for the accolade before they were used in crafting. (You can still get the accolade if you manage to obtain a full set)

I've been here so long that I once witnessed a tribble the size of K-7.
I've been here so long that I've soloed the Balaur Dreadnaught before queues existed.
I've been here so long that I know what the DS9 fleet action and the ground optionals for Starbase 24 and Klingon Scout Force are like.
I've been here so long that I remember when Starbase 24 had a scoreboard at the end of each match listing every player's score.
I've been here so long that I remember when queues didn't kick players out at the end but rather simply reset, and players would loiter in the same map for hours to replay it over and over.
I've been here so long that I remember a STO that didn't have the Deferi.
I've been here so long that I used to have to invest skill points in specific energy types and even specific ship classes.
I've been here so long that I crafted my own Delta Flyer.
I've been here so long that I remember when the Crystalline Entity roamed the Alpha Centauri sector block.
I've been here so long that I've killed the Crystalline Entity with Ramming Speed.

I've been here so long that I have a Special Envoy title.
I've been here so long that I remember when there used to be a 'ship row' outside of ESD where starry-eyed players could gaze in amazement at the next tier of ships that awaited them at their next promotion.

I've been here so long that I witnessed Cryptic create, and then kill, the only 4-piece space set in STO because it was OP.
I've been here so long that I can remember a time when we were explorers.
Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.
I've been here so long, I still ask myself....Where's Sulu?
THE SAME PLACE HE WAS 2 SECONDS AGO WHEN SOMEBODY ELSE ANSWERED THE SAME QUESTION.
I've been here so long that I've spent many hours in the old mirror invasion.
I've been here so long that I can remember a time when DS9 had a lively/active zone chat where players could get the best build advice in STO.
I've been here so long that I have experienced sheer terror just from traversing 'the wrong neighborhood' in sector space as a low-level player.
I've been here so long that I used to float outside of the transporter room on ESD.
I've been here so long that I can remember when Egg wasn't a traitor.
I've been here so long that I remember intelligence reports surfacing of a mysterious Federation ship appearing in KDF space armed with antiproton weapons and chroniton torpedoes, attacking KDF players that wandered too close.

I have been here so long I crafted the Aegis set for every toon.
I have been here so long i recall crafting actually making sense before they 'fixed' it and zeroed everyones previous hardwork.
I have been here so long I got two Orion Boffs for becoming Ambassador on two separate occasions somehow with the same Toon.
I've been here I still have a gorn that looks like that.
I love this nostalgia thread... oh wait, I've been pulled into a DSE...AAAAAAH!
lol that was a good one.
