Abundance of OOC?

I think its probably because Freelancer is pretty action based and attracts a different kind of audience than your average world of warcraft type game.

Many people started playing it for pvp, including some older members, not because they thought the role play possibilities in Freelancer were very immersive.

You got the people who role play, those that dont role play, and those that role play something that doesnt really fit in Freelancer.

The later category is probably attracted to Discovery because there are tons and tons of space-ship movies and very few space-ship role playing games. Thats why people tend to bring all of those movies into Freelancer... star wars, star trek, anime stuff, or just stuff that they role play because they have to role play something here, and find the role paly possibilities of vanilla Freelancer unattractive.
