Several lore contradictions were also pointed out to me, and have since convinced me that this is the proper path to take here.
I would like to believe you, honestly.
But as far as i remember the talk we had about Londonderry, on skype, i got the distinct feeling here that i was already decided that Londonderry will be gone, for the discussion we had, relvolved mostly around where should the Molly bases be placed. So....
Anyway, so we're now about lore contradictions... it's funny thoses issues didn't come up during the talk we had.
And honestly ( again ), i would like to have thoses published here, so that everyone could know about them.
I, personally, think that thoses don't exist , just a smokescreen... so i'm very curious.

Oh , how lucky we are !!! we're keeping pixel bases, WHILE HALF OUR LORE, HISTORY, CURRENT OBJECTIVES, AND HALF OUR DIPLOMACY WILL BE DELETED OR RETCONNED WITH DERRY.
Great, there's no reason to pissed, then.
So thoses bases will be placed in locations that fit the region better ?
Oh yeah i remember the proposals that have been made during our long talks.
Like, placing the smelters or the shipyard in O-49... i can't remember which one. Delightful isn't it ?
We all know that Mollys are drunken bastards. But, would they have been such fools to build their vital assets right in front of the corsair frontline ?
And let's admit they did it for whatever stupid reason... the first thing they would have done once the corsairs would pose a threat to the molly , would be dismantling the facility to re-build it in a safer place.
So i'm not sure we're talking about the same things when it comes to fitting the region better

Keeping the reasons, or the Omega conflict...
I guess i ain't listened here . Let sum it up : if Derry never existed, then, there was never an Omega conflict for the Mollys. So i don't see how something that never existed could be kept alive.
Great job, devs, all the diplomacy, the alliances, the "omega triumvirat", the battles for O-49, all what we have done thoses past years.... PSSHHHHH, GONE WITH DERRY !

Oh i wish it was only about non-redundant connections, as we were opened to new connections when we talked about that, or altered previous one.. but, i guess Derry deletion was already planned , back then.

Same here, i remember we talked about thoses three aspects, and that we could make the changes necessarry to fit thoses parameters. But it was put aside, again in the discussion.
Now what ? Would you think that the Molly players will just watch the reasons for something like ten years of rp, just deleted because some devs thought it is an improvement ? ( while we can serisouly doubt that, by the way ).
Anyway, if that happens, the faction is done... So there is nothing to lose fighting to keep Derry, even if it's not in its current form.
Now, i know that you Teerin, is not the only dev, and could be held accountable for this alone. But as you're the only one that did show up... Sorry about that
