Still looking for that old-school 2010-11 experience?
I've tried a ton of private servers over the years (I always come back to DO smh) and
Private Krypton has scratched my nostalgia itch the best. Absolute quality. Don't get me wrong - Pink Galaxy is good (unplayably laggy for me), Space Aces if good, War Universe is good, but none quite compare.
There's no LF4's, no item upgrading, no Apis, no Zeus, no Spearhead / Aegis / Citadel, no ridiculous damage scaling. Just good 'ol Iris / LF3 / B02. Also has all the features from my favorite DO phase - PET / Designs (Sentinel, Diminisher, etc) / Pirates.
Runs on brower (even on my phone - kinda), or you can download the client - which is smoother for me on my potato pc. Regularly updated by Dev, UI is fantastic, and there's visual mod support to some degree already.
You can also use my referral code for some early progression help.

Tips:
-- No Hanger = 1 active ship (no switching). Get Leo at auction and wait to upgrade (once you upgrade you'd have to re-buy or bid)
-- Pet is not for sale. "Pet Parts" come from a new up-to-8-player gate. Gate tickets received from pirates & ubers
-- Some quests yield "Tokens" - use them in the Token Shop to purchase GG spins / equipment / boosters
I've been playing for a while now - happy to help with any questions
