Freelancer RP the way Discovery knew it and now still knows it.
Flying a character and chatting/shooting around doesn't attract players and never had.
Saying that improving RP possibilities doesn't add anything to official factions, nor indie players.
If you want to make Discovery follow the MMORPG game designs, which obviously will never work as the game is too old to attract a big number of players, then you go and add major grinds, unique items and stats you can brag about.
People want something competitive for some reason, if it's just for your pvp kill/death ratio or you having the possession of something unique. But good luck making truly unique items :3
Saying this is due to the holidays is probably the worst excuse I have ever seen. As most other games seem to actually attract more players, due to Christmas gifts and events.
and I just noticed I wasted time and energy as well as electricity from my pc by typing all of this.
