I recon its a combanation all all the things. I came
straight from 1 player and was amazed by:
The expanded universe
The new ships
The community
And a great all round atmosphere (exept when
you get blown out the sky by a corsair raiding
part and even then it's still pretty good!)
The mod is great. I've been playing on other servers for a while but just had Discovery recommended by a mate. After a week I'm impressed. I love the idea of a true RP server and that is what's happening here. The extra systems, ships etc are one thing, but without the interest of RP the whole thing would quicly get stale. Get the feeling I'll be around for a while....
IMO, the mod is like a sequel. Theres also much less bitching here than my old server.
Its been..what...5 years since release? The game was never very successful to begin with (god knows why) so its suprising Vanilla servers have survived this long. When servers die (like vanilla servers are atm) people lash out at eachother, and the friendly atmosphere is gone.
There will never be an official sequel, but this is as close as it gets. The only improvement I could think of is to work out the bouncing issue with Capital ships, and to replace IMO "stolen" ships with fresh models. Eg. Huntress=Startrek Scimitar, Id love to see a fresh Corsair cruiser.

(Really, I speak terrible English, so please, tell me if I make mistakes. I'd like to improve it a bit )
discovery has a great community and the mod is well balanced and likeable.
When I went on my sebatical about half a year ago, the disco forums had about 700 members, about 250 of them made regular contributions. The server had a limit of about 30, normally no more than 15 being filled up.
Now ive returned, forum membership exceeds 8000 and the server limit is 75, which is normally completly filled. This shows how much this little community has grown and im convident it will keep doping so.
