hey I don't mean to be a dick but whats with people circlejerking their military experience to a community that can't verify any of it anyways
Anyway, this project idea is pretty cool and I think the devs involved are nice guys. I think the only thing is that discovery's pretty niche in part because its not advertised to the science fiction community enough (I mean honestly nobody plays freelancer anymore besides maybe like 100 people in this world maximum) and also the downloading/installation process.
So if you guys could simply the downloading and installation process and figure out how to penetrate other sci fi communities (not 'roleplay' communities, because that's niche too) then this might help increase the playerbase. You'll have to deal with a ton of new people who don't know how to roleplay yet though so that's something you may have to tolerate.
So whenever you guys have a working build, you might wanna set up two servers, one roleplay (that you need to show you can roleplay in order to get access too) and one without roleplay, where people can just come in and have fun and get hooked on the game without getting banned for a rule they don't yet understand.
