When I first got my account active, the first spaceship I was given was called a "Taurian Mule." OG space gamers like me will recognize the reference: Trade Wars 2002, a multi player, text-based BBS door game from the 1980-90s. It makes me wonder how much influence TW2002 had on the concept and development of Endless Sky? Which is a good thing! It's like the Trade Wars we always wished we had. Or like the never-realized Trade Wars remake in the 00s that never quite made it.
There are actually a few throwback Telnet servers out there that still run BBS-based TW2002 games, if anyone wants to try it.
