New Player: First Impression of Discovery and it's learning curve.

[Manu]

Just stepping in for a moment only to hop out, again.

Maybe to simplify tags, they could be spelled out instead of being abbreviated? I'll admit that even as a veteran, there are still some tags I come across where I'm left scratching my head as to what the heck they're trying to represent.

Some factions are short enough to fit into [brackets] or (parenthesis), but for those with longer names, they could be semi-short hand, such as [KuNavy], [RheinMil], [I.Miner'sGuild], [G.Miner'sGuild], etc.

They don't even need to be in brackets and considering the 23 letter limit. With also optional (000)- (as example space for branches). included. Also some don't need the [house]. So basically after the | The faction can write whatever they want.

Some Examples:

[L]Police|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[L]NAVY|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[R]Kruger|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[L]LSF|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G]Solar|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[L]Ageira|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[L]DSE|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B]Police|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[K]KNF|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[L]InterCo.|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[L]Rogue|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[L]Xeno|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B]Gateway|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _
[B]Molly|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B]Bowex|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B]Wild|(000)-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


For a new player this could be a game changer in terms of being active in rp as quickly as Discovery wants us to. Perhaps this means nothing for most of you cause you got years in the game, got used to or surpassed the curve. But for a new player this is a problem. There could also be a rule set regarding abbreviations for long words, security, gov and corporations.
