Updates came in fast, 5 major adjustements with the first patch I remembered 2, ISC lost shield (from 24k to 16K) and you couldn't tax your colonies 50% anymore

.
People were making 100 millions in a day on the first server, but I never played the first server, I think I logged on 4h before the end.
(I played patch 1 till 74 so it seems then started again with patch 230, I think)
Note that if you can read the date it was made (it's in dutch), that's wrong my PC was upgraded to XP so the guy who did had to make a back up of all my programme's and installed them again on that date, but we can see the last time I played port with that patch though, Wednesday 26th of November 2003
