Having own dedicated and developed RP platform (if possible) negates any drawbacks related to moving to it, even re-starting the lore (an ultimate chance to start from the scratch while having experience and ability to avoid mistakes).

It is not out of nowhere it based on vanilla and thats fair. If you want to move the stuff in new galaxy need to kiil everything in Sirius (WHICH IS THE BAD THING) and launch the SleeperShips again or something. Otherwise there is some zoners will move in the new place and maybe some criminal with bounty hunter who after them. If you will add Nomads you will get the basic Omicrons. This is if you will base on the Sirius lore.
The point is that the lore, story, background actually could be anything. It is a matter of getting used. There is nothing supernatural in FL lore which makes it only one and only the best.
One can simply pick up any scy-fi book and set a lore and universe from it, for example.

Actually.
I personally find the setting of FL very unique, the fact that almost everything is based on RL stuff, just moved a couple thousand years forward in time and a few hundred light years away in space.

Moving disco to the separate engine is a good idea, but it is a colossal work, I would say for years. And keep the spirit will be the hardest task. If you really will start this work for real let me know, maybe I will help, I've some coding skills.
at least some technical work was done already

So good that it was chopped up and dumbed down into the final version and we still enjoy it today. I think that in order to make a better version of Discovery is to cut all the deviations from the initial lore(i'm using broad terms). SCRA? Galia? Hellfire legion? Reapers of Sirius? All these made up stories just feel like additions to the Mona Lisa made with a ballpoint pen.
But to do that you need an organized team with clear roles and responsibilities, professionals. And it's hard to have that without money.
I wouldnt be so radical, maybe those stories will be continued when people "come back".

like I said one way is: alien jumpgate -> new galaxy -> new chapter + everything that could get through that gate
