How can we make Discovery better?

[.Gypsy.]

My 2 cents:

1. Log in and play, seriously.

2. I think Gallia is fine. I think half the people who post here don't play, so see #1.

3. More mini-updates, and not 6 months apart, for example people were really psyched about playing that Firefly model that Swallow made.. Now people have probably forgot about it. If a good idea or model is made, implement it now. If an error was made in last update, make a mini update to fix it now instead of making people wait 6 months to have there ship fixed.

There is nothing wrong with having an update every few weeks, even if its only to fix an error or add a ship. If anything, it shows that Disco is actively being developed.

4. Players, stop attacking the dev team, they do this for free and it must be truly disheartening to be attacked every time they have spent so many hours making an idea.

5. Dev team, listen to the player base. If you make a poll and it clearly shows people are not in favor of a change you want to make, don't implement it anyway. (ie Zoner change)

6. Official Factions: Remove inactive leaders, seriously. Nothing kills a faction like an inactive leader. Maybe take a look at your promotion system, there's not 200+ online anymore so needing as much to get promoted as you did back then may not make sense anymore. Don't be afraid of change, change can be a good thing instead of living in the past. Easier promotions at least for the first few ranks is a good incentive for new players.

7. More help and encouragement for new players, but I'm not sure how.

8. Be mindful of what you post on the forums, ask yourself how you would feel as a new player if you read what you are about to post. Does it demean Disco? Does it seem hateful? Is it helpful at all? That sort of thing. I think one of the problems is the negativity here.

9. Most important of all, log in and play the game!!!!! We don't need Forum Warriors we need players!

Thats IMO anyway..
