Actually ever since Beta, getting into Orbit of S1 has been a hailing of becoming a vet...
S1 use to orbit so fast that it could spin round and knock ships out of jump... Yup, it moved faster than jump speed... Its been slowed way down and jump speed increased...

Thankfully you guys destroyed that plo... I paradox by decreasing its orbital speed to under light speed...

The best was when I had gotten the entire ICC team to orbit with me in missile dreads and cruisers with a couple of supplys.
So while the UTGO and Kluth were decking it out by S2, as S1 swung round the ICC would launch a mass wave of missiles and disappear before the other two could shoot back

i member one time in newbie, no one was even fighting =, we were all sitting in orbit of S1, just chatting like a buncha twirps. till someone got the bright idea to use a tractor beam on me.... then i had one of those "Lag so bad u want to deficate on your moniter" moments. (resulted in a disco)
