Hi! I am a fan of the Discovery series and having played the single player campaign and online play many years ago, I did like this game looking back at it. I want to give the game another go after being shown Discovery and how large the active player base is even for the age of the game.
However, one of the problems that I seem to be facing is where to even start when it comes to role playing in a game like this. I would just like to ask how you guys got into the game and what are some tips and suggestions for new players that you have done. The game is already really interesting to me because of the fact that you can work together to have organized systems of many races that keep everything in-tact and can also work with other factions in companionship or against them in hostility that could result in long battles or struggles. Then this mod or version of the game allows the players to change the game in small or large details to how things operate which is something that could be really cool to get into since I am a fan of science fiction and am not opposed to writing or developing different events as they progress.
I understand that you can play this game and see that there is organizations that have specific purposes, but where and how can I get started? Should I start working on a character with background details that fits to whichever group I am wanting to go with? This is a learning experience for me because I haven't really role played prior to Discovery, but again, after knowing a few people that have been into Discovery for a while and them enjoying it.. it looks like it is something that I could get into. Thanks for anyone willing to help out a curious person on a completely new topic for them.
