Just for the sake of....*insert word* play game and have fun. Yeah, Discovery has lots of minuses, who doesnt have them anyways? But we still loging our chars, comming to play, pewing (alright, being pewned) and having fun more or less. All such discussion, after few couples of pages turning into mess. Everybody giving examples, how would he do.
Giving death penalty like on DoD- sure. Just check how popular it is now. We want this server having same picture?
Restricting lots of stuff. Yeah, that would make game more competentive, no doubt, but as ppl told, new players will screw it, and leave it, because, to get acces to ship X you need to read tons of bullcrap.
I think, in current situation, we are merely balanced. Some things could be a bit challenging to get, however...Server didnt died so far, seems that ppl who rolling wheel know what to do. May be.
