If anyone if familiar with CCP's media they might remember this trailer entitle "I was there.". While the concept is a little cheesy it got me remember my experiences with Dust 514 and what made me really enjoy this game.
At the same time it made me mildly curious as to where other players were when the moments that defined their Dust experience and what those were.
I was there when alongside representatives of PIE Inc, EoN, Hellstorm Inc, and Lokun Listamenn mercenary corporations and alliances alongside our stead fast militia allies crushed the traditional Minmatar held dominance in the Bleak Lands, Devoid, Metropolis, and Heimatar.
I was there in the Bleak Lands after we affected the first major swing of the Pendulum War and was there after that campaign on the night an I-Hub bashing fleet went through 7 systems uncontested aided by Dust modifiers.
I was there when the Min Militia cried about the broken system and how right Aero was.
I was there during the second Crusade through the Bleak Lands and Devoid that saw our operative undefeated for days at a time with no Matari forces that could not slow our advance for more than a few minutes at a time.
I was there when PIE established it's POS Forward base in Huola. The only online combat pilot able to help with the set up of the tower. I spent twenty minutes white knuckled and tasked to protect hundreds of millions of ISK worth of infrastructure in the hostile system from half the Min Militia shipping in their own materiel.
I was there when the Amarr Miltia conquered all of the systems in the CEWMPA warzoe holding dominion over space and planets as one. For that I received a campaign medal, the same such medal that has yet to be won by the Minmatar.
I made a friendship with an Intaki, a punk ass halfbreed Caldarian, hell I'm even on speaking terms with one of the Matari Militia's regular Fleet Commanders, I've met Plasmessiahs from both the Federation and the Empire, and I've worked with Amarrians whose names will go down in history as the Empire's finest warriors.
I was there when the Empress was assassinated by the Drifters and mourned her loss alongside hundreds of other loyalists.
I'll be there when we get revenge.
When I consider Dust 514 like that even half finished after these three years.... it almost seems worth it.

That was the first time I felt a true connection with the universe. Even though we couldn't even officially pick a side at the time. I still enjoyed the game up until the point they added aim assist. From there it went downhill for me. Then everyone and their mother could hipfire you into oblivion. Gone were the days when you actually had to aim down the sight to hit something. I was one of the few actual Murder Medics. Outfitted with everything to help my team. Logi Ck.0 w/Duvalle or Gek, Adv or Proto nanite injector, proto repair tool, and at least a k9 nanohive. Those were the good ol days. I haven't played dust in over a year, but I still jump on the forums to see who's still kicking. If they ever port to PC I might join back up full time. Until then Star Citizen and Space Engineers are my space sims. Dead SIx Initiative Forever Harkon Vysarii -Ronan Elsword P.S. If you're still in contact with any of the old Lokun/D6I guys tell them I said hello. Mechoj, Halador, Shyeer, ect.
I heard Mechoj was still around from ConantheCimmerian who is I recall was CEO of KnightzoftheRound. He's not flying in PIE with us amongst other things. Xin was online a lot I heard, and Raya lurk here every now and then. Nothing from Shyeer sadly.
He was the best CEO I've had in EVE/Dust.

Wish I could join Lokun in SC but my computer would have an aneurysm just trying to boot up the loading screen. Also I don't think he knows True since by that time I was Harkon Vysarri using Amarr gear with Mendov Ishenko and Dakon Gerrien before they both had left D6 and before Beth Velvetino and his Surya went back to Snuffbox in Tannolen and Sujarento.

Ronan Elsword wrote:One last story. Super short. This is the moment that makes me laugh to this day, even when just typing it out. Some discription of the guy this involves. Trist O'Phate was a hilarious guy who basically was Funsies manifested into a person. Trist and I were working our way up the super buggy terrain of Manus Peak. (When it actually was a giant mountain.) There's a few redberries up there sniping as was usual with an uplink behind them. We get up there sniper rifles in hand and I take out the uplink. We both shot one of the guys at the same time almost killing him. Then an epic fight bashing back in forth with the two reds who would soon be dead. As many will remember from Chromosome there was only one way up to the tip of Manus Peak and it involved a lot of jumping. Well this day the Jumping gods of Dust were not in Trist favor. As I watched Trist start jumping up he suddenly did a backflip and ragdolled dead right in front of me.  I only wish I could remember what he said that made it that much more hilarious. Killed by the glitchy ground and weirdness of that mountain. I'm sure it's not as funny to others, but like all inside jokes. I was There
Lol he was 'The Chosen One' destined to bring balance to the Funsies.
Nanohive boxing with that Southern Legion guy who honourably stopped shooting us with his GEK to see what the hell we we're doing charging him with Nanohives.
Nova Knifing as a Sentinel.
Not bothering to activate his Dampners during Air Cav because her was 'too badass to bother with them.'
