Let’s share moments and things that have stuck into our memory for whatever reason. Some good times from the lifetime of the game, it can be whatever, any kind of a thing that has stuck to your memory will do
At one point way in the past when engines gave reload bonuses I was playing a very bare bones build with basically just frames, ammo boxes, three phoenix, engine and the Torero cabin. No armor no decorative parts. I remember at the start of one match a teammate asked me “What does that build do?”. I told him “Watch this” and then shot the three bolts into the ground and drove over them and they exploded, popping my ammo and generator and blowing me up instantly. He replied with “I see” and I found the entire situation pretty funny in general.

I remember when I was just starting out, still very new to the game, I got a set of aviators (the smallest boosters). This was before runes, and when all boosters were 1 energy, long before the energy rework, before free packs, etc. One of the first things I made was a plane. It didn’t use any rotors (they didn’t exist yet). It was that “isotope” greenish paint you get when you start, and I put a gun in front of the “windshield” which was just a lunatic armor part I forgot the name of. It didn’t fly unless you went off a ramp, but when you did it went pretty far. I had to learn about weight distribution, and eventually added coolers/radiators for the lil machine gun. It was fun. I eventually made a “Flying_Levi” which was an upscaled version with more guns on the wings with the boosters. You had to take it off a ramp, and couldn’t take it to battle, but it was fun. I still have the OG plane, and the Leviathan version in my exhibition on PC, for memories. I’m sure they probably broke it since then, the weight might be off now after so many updates, but it was fun back in the day. One of my best friends also made a plane, and we flew together in bedlam, until we got shot down. I’ve made planes since then (I have V3 on exhibition and V4 yet to be uploaded), but I will never forget the OG.

I remember when I was about 6 months into the game, I hit a wall. I didn’t fully understand the relationship between cabins and engines and wheels and balance and shoot-thru parts, etc., and was struggling to make a wedge car like everyone else was using, with the stuff I had (which wasn’t alot). Getting nuked fairly often by dudes who I later found out were called “sealclubbers”. Out of the blue, another player offered me advice and showed me how to build a functional wedge car that worked. He also advised me which weapons to get, instead of the stuff I was using.
That one working wedge car started changing everything; I was getting more resources and was able to craft stuff on a regular basis and buy what I needed. That player no longer plays, but his effort to help me out was a major turning point for me.
