Are we killing Discovery?

[Capt. Henry Morgan]

For my own part, I judge each indie separately as I meet them. Treating them as a group is a mistake, as they are no such thing. Some indies are very good, and I've had a lot of fun. Some aren't so good, their RP is a little weak, but they're at least trying. These are usually the new players who are like I was a few months ago. I still have fun with them, and try to pick up the slack of the RP and demonstrate through example how it should be done. Finally, there's the indie who make no effort at all. Usually, they stick their own head in the noose themselves and end up on the sanction list. No need for me to be nasty there at all.

As for factions, I see their role as leaders by example. The indies should show some respect for the faction, and the faction should show respect to the indie. Keep in mind, though, that respect is earned, and the faction and indie both need to make an effort to be worthy of that respect.
