What boggles my mind is if Massdriver & friends dislike Discovery's playerbase so much, why your first thoughts would be to make a new engine simply to port Disco over to instead of doing something new with it.
Probably because building a fullblown world, with all trade routes, patrol paths, new ships and all of that, takes months. And despite it's flaws, Disco has proven itself as a fun world to play in. Otherwise, folk wouldn't play in it.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
Mostly retired Discovery member. May still visit from time to time.
