I don't know why @"Sombra Hookier" and @Kalhmera bothered to post at all -- maybe because they really enjoy the sounds of their own voice, or maybe they just enjoy reassuring everyone that nobody will have to put up with their whinging in Aftermath.
I see your constipation got better with your return. This time it wasnt even a pink wall of hate as usual, but just a minor step. Progress has been made!
In fact you actually care about the reason - I think you do not as you clearly have not read my posts or simply not understood them - here is some insight:
The moment this thread was created, people linked it via discord. A certain someone linked it to me via PM. Others posted it on a certain Discord where I usually hang out with a bunch of other people, with a few of those people sitting in Discovery Discords and constantly whine about how shitty Discovery is in various channels. (Hi Jayce! ) Not only that, though, but some of the people behind this mod tried to get me to join their team, for example Impy. So I looked this up, read the OP after knowing already much about the plans regarding Aftermath, how different it is going to be, and I think you will just have to endure my valid opinion on why I am rather not interested of trying it for the same reason as to why people post why they are going to try it. That is called feedback. Something you only know 50% of.
I do not oppose Aftermath. If it works out well, good for the Freelancer players as a whole. If not, there was at least an attempt. I will however neither support nor work against it. I lack the time for that, and lack the interest. The idea of me having a good authority over how systems are designed is a nice bait, but at this point I have come to the realization that I do not need to take any compromises if I do sysdeving just for my own, take recordings of what I do, turn them into 15-seconds-gifs and put them into story threads. That way people can appreciate my stuff if they want without me having to cope with the dubious devs here or the also dubious devs there. My opinion on this matter is quite different from Kalhs.
Aftermath also comes with a completely different environment in terms of roleplay, but mostly has the same people behind it. I cant take my stuff here and transfer it over there once it is playable. So why bother. As I wrote before, I do not need to love the devs here to do my own thing, and my own thing doesnt harm anyone. If I wanted to create an entirely new roleplay, I wouldnt go for something that is pretty much the same as here, with the same mostly toxic people. I guess in that case I would rather switch the RP community entirely, to other games with a bigger playerbase.
I hope your genuine curiousity was satisfied. Otherwise I expect you to satisfy yourself with your reply.
