Fondest memory. That's a tough one, and I have several.
I could mention the first time I went out exploring as a relatively new cmdr and visited the Veil West Nebula. Not far from the bubble I know, but for a new cmdr it seemed like a long ways away. Seeing those colours was incredible!
Or the first visit to a Barnacle. That eerie sound when you approached, and that alien look of it was creepy as heck. I kept expecting it to suddenly jump out of the ground and attack me
Visiting the first Guardian ruins was also an eyeopener. Finally there was something other than rocks and bases to visit that you could interact "properly" with. Having hung out with Canonn during the UA/UP mysteries, it felt great to be able to hang out with the same people in our SRVs and trying to solve what felt like an actual puzzle.
The first thargoid attacks also bears mention. Docking at those stations was incredible. The sounds, the heat build up, and the constant cmdr traffic. An awesome moment that pointed to something more...that we're still waiting on
My "fondest" memory however is quite recent. Donning the Rift for the first time and finally being in the cockpit! Nothing beats that feeling! The immensity of the ships and the game was suddenly apparent on a completely different scale. I finally felt like that "one small cmdr in a huge galaxy". It was a great feeling!
