That's just for starters. Better buckle up, I know some alphas (including me) could go on and on...

heh, how about...
The party roid?
wireframe mode.
the avalon
infiniturbo was 160m/s, giving it a downside
you used the holy roids to line up on sector 18
there was a black market where you could buy any nations special ships for an insanely high number of credits
except:
there was a money bug that meant everyone had rediculously ludicrisly unbelivably insanely high amounts of credits.
I love the people who are talking about having 100,000,000 credits as if it were a big deal. We used to GIVE that many credits away to the noobs just to shut them up.
the prometheous was the king, then it got nerfed and the valk was the be-all and end-all of ships. nothing could effectively hope to stop it in the hands of a pilot who could figure out which mouse button fired the weapons.
no npc traders
no npc strike forces
no ion storms
the wormholes to some sectors were hidden
you could use the displays hippos command to create a tradebot
.....
those were some fun times.. of course the game is much more polished now, and the direction its going in is definitely a better one, but there are rare days i'd just like to fire up the old universe and have a rousing battle of spacequake, go on a flag cap run, and engage in a little station nuking, just for nostalgia sake.

Don't forget that one thing we all take for granted now, bots that can warp. Back then bots were per sector and could not leave. And when bots were given the ability to warp the collective impression was "omg cool!" Little things like that made us happy :P
ah the jous of in-progress gaming
unfortunately all of those were before my time

dont forget the station in the s10 roid!
yep, avalons
donut shaped stations
small mining stations
holographic earthly summer signs
s40-47 were the old racing sectors
nanites!
each nation had 1 sector, then 2 sectors.
only a few types of bots, those orun collector models (werent even called that then), furies, centurions, etc.
no mk.2 ships, just the basics
no moths (of course)
Bounties, for each bot/person you kill, you go up in bounties,
no station defenders for each station
CTF!
station guards had uber-gats that the frigate (H.A.C) used
the cap ship also had escorts, even though it didnt move
different types of engines
no duel system, if you wanted a duel just ask the person
no faction system either, you were KOS for each nation
secret sectors (s10, s14, s15, s16, s17, s18, s40-47 etc.) and you needed to look for the land marks to find them.
didnt go 3000m to warp, each sector had a WH to go to a different sector
neutrons were tachyons
i forget what positrons were called, but they werent that
no levels
money bug!
no guild system! so we created some guilds by putting the [] ex. [SDF], [INM], [syn], [SAW], etc.
and yes, SDF came before the IDF, believe me, i was in it!
-[SDF] Black 2
no mission system either
no mass or anythin like that
some of the greatest players ever
i could go on like phaserlight said, (if someone has already stated these, im sorry, i didnt feel like reading all of their post)

"Zomg, six blues in sector 11! Quick, go mine the flag!" ;p
specially if they were l-mines! that would just kill the mission hehehe
No backstory... No missions... Even worse bot AI than we have now... Rampant n00bkilling... Spying on nation chat... The Verdandi Incident... n00bie... That one time I beat Phoenix in sector 9... The inability to own more than one ship (period- you picked your ship when you created your character)... The inability to carry cargo... Power-ups... Deathmatch sector... Invincibility bug (/set damage 0)... Infiniboost bug (discovered by me; switch to 3rd 3rd person mode)... Station turrets... Space cows... Holey roids...
Actual navigation by stars! (You needed to align, uh, 'landmarks' to get to the sectors that had the mentioned hidden wormholes. Especially when bots got to boost faster and longer than you, it was a blast.)
Nukes, psh! Insta-nukes! (Insta-nuke wars were fun... especially if you knew how to survive in them.)
Investment in widgets. (Nerfed frig, with the rare minerals. I had a good few M stashed away.)
Red Team Cat(s)! (Rawr.)
Stealth caps (with Asp foiling them).

Pron widgets (holo cubes) and booze!
Solo capping with the docking bay exploit :)
Getting a mill c just for being red those times we/they managed to cap.
Trading back and forth with the then massive cargo bay of 16cu!
Sitting in donut shaped stations and killing big bad bots as they tried to dock :)
Having more credits than you could see on screen with a 1280x1024 res :) (and having most of them for being a whining noob)
