I don't see this mod surviving long. Reason is that people are too invested into discovery to switch to a new one. Second is that that you won't have a large enough playerbase to make a new mod interesting. discovery itself has like 50 at good hours and 20 in bad hours. You will have a fraction of that. This mod might have been succesful 10 years ago. Now it is just wasted efford.
I won't be playing it because I am too invested in discovery to be bothered with a new mod.
