After many discussions in chat with lots of other players - it seems like there would be strong support for Battle Pirates Classic, just like it was when many of us long time players started - original old graphics, old hulls like Sea Wolf, Hammerheads, etc. Snowplowing through the clouds on the World Map to find Resource Islands...
I know I would play both versions!!!

Out of all that, probably the only thing I miss from those days is Swag and his beard. Don't get me wrong, it was fun to play back then but it's nothing compared to the game we have now.

Dont forget:
Max travel distance was 800 and map speed was really slow.
Resources were hard to come by.
When your labs, shipyard or building upgrades were damaged in a base attack, you not only lost the repair time (which was considerable for the labs back then), but you also got time added to the build or research.
There was no standardization on raids. So you had to defend against everything and the raid was turned for a full fleet of last months prize.
Yes, it was fun back then, but a lot if the changes have been for the better.
...that one with the most raidpoints per sector?
Everything else was nice, but raids was a pain in the a$$...
Good luck!
