The whole issue of 'unworthiness' is simply a matter of opinion & I can't help but scoff at it
Personally, I believe that any faction that can maintain official status for one year is worthy of a shipline
Sometimes it's difficult being a Gaian, because it's hard for us to play 3 dimensional characters in a one dimensional faction...yet in spite of that limitation we (NLH) been able to maintain official status for about 3 years now (even though at some points in our history it was only by the skin of our teeth) by maintaining a base of players in the double digits that pretty much remains constant. When we loose a player, we gain a player.
For my part, I spend most of my time developing Gaian culture & trying to convey that sense of history as best I can on the server & being the best Gaian Cheerleader I can when RL isn't in the way.
You make a good point Schlurbi, but in the grand scheme, a lack of planetform players is not the end all-be all of what keeps us Gaians on the fringes of visibility...It's simply an issue of time, motivation & inertia on our part.
One of the things the Gaians have that planetform doesn't is a larger base of players with a fanatical love for their faction...for months now, the time I'm able to devote to the server is limited, but I'll be more than willing to do what I can when I can to help you prop up planetform & make them more appealing for players.

[11:48:19 AM] Dusty Lens: hey
[11:48:25 AM] Dusty Lens: didn't you hitbox the Gain VHF?
[12:04:30 PM] David - King: oh, right, I did make a hitbox, but the Shield bubble had an issue. Gimme a second, I'll try once more to fix it
[12:26:19 PM] David - King: grrrrrrrr
[12:26:27 PM] David - King: Right, I'll make a post on Starport
[12:38:59 PM] David - King: let's hope for the best cuz aside from this issue, everything else was working perfectly
[12:39:04 PM] David - King: but um, why are you asking?
Just FYI. That's the current status of the hitbox.
Shield bubble on the ship is currently too far back, which may cause some issues with the aim assist cross. Hence why the Hitbox is not 100% ready atm. Otherwise I would have submitted it a long while ago.
here is new one...better fits and has smaller shield bubble
so what exactly prevents this model to be added?....
Do you people even read what i write...sometimes i wonder...i clearly said that we will work on debugging in latter stages of development...fixing shield bubble goes under debugging and its not THE HIGHEST priority
I think it's a very strange mentality when mod content such as ships is developed based on the performance of a player faction on one particular server.
There are many servers and many people who play Discovery as a singleplayer.
Games should be developed from a neutral perspective regardless of what goes on in servers -- unless it's a widespread gameplay mechanic issue.
