We're working on the new layout and write up for the main page at the moment, so that should be good to change within the week.
Don't forget to submit images/videos!
Out of interest, will these updates include making our page look more like the Freeworlds page? They have an extremely well executed full-page theme and colour scheme, while we have the default look. It makes their page look extremely professional and well done, while we look like amateurs who don't know what they're doing.
Having an attention grabbing, themed header along the lines of a Dunkirk/LibDread and Valor cinematically (not just a direct screenshot) duking it out over Leeds would be an excellent start. Following that up with a coherent colour scheme and maybe redesigned buttons in Freelancer's menu style (if ModDB will support that) would be absolutely amazing.
Between that and the new front page, Discovery would have a slick new look that should make us look far more appealing to casual visitors. I know for a fact from looking at mods for other games, if there's two mods that do broadly the same thing (i.e. the various Game of Thrones M&B mods), I'll invest more time investigating the better presented one because it appears their team has their act together.
