What, you actually thought you had power over the mod with the tons of crap we get posted in the RP section these days?
Get the stick out of your arse and go play the game.

When no one submits any lore changes, well, we have to make some up ourselves.
So, in the lieu of submissions, you decide to evolve the storyline without input?
In small measures, this is reasonable. But to these extremes?
And yes, I realise you don't wish to repeat yourselves over and over again on the ever-hackneyed beat of "But we're returning these Colony Ships to the ideal Rp state", because there is no pre-defined definition for what a colony ship is other than a dreadnaught within the Discovery GC cannon.
We've tried something, which usually works. However, because that thing tends to be colossal, it serves as a derision magnate.
The Q_Q that this raises is assuredly worse than the "It's that time of year again" per six-month Neph rage sprees.

Well, why would you think that any random paragraph of text posted on the forum constitutes as lore?

Until the new stats get posted, this thread really is not doing anything but turning more and more people against each other, am I the only one that sees this and the damage this thread is doing to people? This should be locked IMHO.

Come to think of it, I actually agree with that. They can't go that much further with the inevitable between this time.
We can assume the argument will re-emerge at a latter date, however, as will the phallic battle transports concerned.

I'd like to assume that I'm roleplaying in the same universe - that characters played by humans have an existence in this fictional world, instead of being random spiel driven by inconsequence.
If Rp matters not, then remove it from the server title and let's fire up our mining lasers and get on down to pewfest/silent trading. Would it be so difficult even to create an illusion of dynamism, such as other, equally credible freelancer mods have succeeded with in the past, present and probable future?
I do not care for cronyism, Discoverse.

I'm not sure I could disagree more. Being silent about it would be accepting of the change. I'm having to quickly put together some forum RP so that if this actually happens I'll have a small chance to save my colony ship via SRP.
Achille, I can see where you are coming from, but this would also mean that anyone can do so. And would do so. Any halfwut would be able to do it. Do we want that?

Interesting point, yes. I had to to think over that one for a while, Sindy.
We can assume that the modal RP producing elements of the server populace are not halfwits. Halfwits get a lot of publicity as we all (rightly or wrongly) enjoy a good laugh/troll/rage over them at times, and it can seem as if most people do not appear to know what is good for them. Statistically however, this comes to a fault.
Enter the stories forum or the Communications forum. Pick a random post, any post. I will blindly swear in positive faith that you are near certain to encounter some lines of carefully penned, sculpted role-play, written by somebody who cares about their character, faction, or objectives for either, and desires to have good-natured fun here, nothing more or less. Sure, you get the odd Ame-chan and Conspiracy Reaver barely serious Rp alts (one of those tho I am pretty sure is owned by a dev, I may add), the odd two-liners of mangled English, Oorp clutter, meta, power, and every other sort of gaming other than (as you mentioned earlier) just playing the game, but on the whole, the community knows what it wants, and gets along with itself.
Occasionally we all desire differing alternatives, but you can sense prevailing themes. For instance, when in multiple polls the majority of not only the Zoner Community, but a good chunk of the forum community (around 72% of the poll votes, to aim it conservatively), vote for any one of the alternatives other than the changing of Zoner Capitals into jingoistically shaped Jinx traders of doubtful utility, with the majority of the pro-transport votes (as revealed helpfully by Coin) being cast by the pro-transport devs themselves, when a Dev who bears little respect (to put it mildly) among the collective of Zoner players, official and un, is permitted to bear a key role in the change, and when the Devs concerned fail to listen to advice penned by official Zoner players regarding official Zoner lore permitting them to maintain their current vessels, whilst casting out no lore of their own regarding the reasoning behind the Zoner hipline alterations…
…Something is deeply, and darkly screwed up.
Naturally, however, I'll get guffawed at and monikered a lulwuttish Zoner, over-proud of his faction and who doesn't want to lose a few toys.
Edit: I have huge faith in disco and the Zoner community to be able to handle the Rp universe properly, and, usually, I have faith in the admins and Dev leads concerned. The latter part is open to question, however.
EditEdit: To answer your question a little more directly Sindy; do we want that? Well, perhaps yes.

Then anything Tel Aniv posted, you are also proposing as cannon.
Or any ZA related material, for that matter.
Case and point. The community is unfit to build the mod via RP.
