Well, since Disco more or less has a defined end time now. Any of you think there will be some kind of story wrap up that'll happen before star citizen is released?
We may see disco-like characters running around in Star citizen, perhaps even some faction networks will be preserved, however I don't see any possibility for modding of the star citizen to take place on the scale required to re-create disco.
tbh I wouldnt miss disco much if there was another free rp space sim with high player numbers. Anyone know if playing Star Citizen online will be free? Or even the game for free like world of tanks?
We'll see what's what. If there's a strong enough playerbase Disco will prolly remain around for a bit yet. The launch date of Star Citizen isn't set and I don't know how moddable it is - but moving Disco to a better engine is something on the longterm wishlist. The current engine simply can't handle the player load that this environment wants...
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
Mostly retired Discovery member. May still visit from time to time.

You purchase the game, that's it. They will offer ingame microtransactions on ships and stuff, but you can also earn the ingame money to purchase them without real currency.

I'd say SC will be released earliest in 2014.
Though I'm having low expectations for that game to be honest.
But if there'll be a serious Roleplay server with a nice community, and Discovery won't be anymore, I'll consider to give it a try.
