Well said, fam. More systems is only conducive to the mod when it's conducive to player interaction, and systems were removed because they weren't conducive to player interaction. Adding more systems would make it harder to come across other players, would make running and hiding too easy, and would make balancing (namely trading) more difficult.

As Discovery as a mod and a community has evolved, so too has the interpretation of the name; just think, there was a time when @Igiss asked people not to use FLCompanion, but to instead "discover" everything on their own, because "things [were] generally placed in logical locations" (though note bene this was also a time when a highly sought-after codename, I believe it was ARCHANGEL, was on a Council HF wreck over 120k above the plane in an obscure corner of Gallia, back when Gallia was over twice as big as it is now).

In my personal opinion, I think we're now at the point where we need to be more character-driven and less story-driven. The mod exists to provide setting, context, and give characters something to strive for, but ultimately, I don't view it as something to define roleplay, but rather essentially to enhance it.
