How to make Discovery better?

[... kur nubėgo?]

I was about to post a couple of paragraphs of pent up rage at this forum community. Instead I will post a brief outline of something I believe will help.

1. Official factions, instead of coming here and saying how bad indies are, get your players out there and start interacting with indies. Don't order them around and tell them off, gently point them in the right direction and show how much fun it can be to be in a faction.

2. Further reinforce this fun showing by removing part of the ranking system. Let all new people start off in a VHF instead of the lowest ship available. It always turns indies off when they get blasted by tougher opponents because they are in weak ships.

3. You don't need fancy gimmicks or ships to promote your factions. Once you have done the above two you shouldn't need them.

4. encourage existing factions members to RP with indies and get them to encourage (nicely) the indie to join up. Also let the faction members bring the indie to events to show them just how fun a faction can be.

5. Unite your faction, get them to show the up most niceness to indie's, it's the only way that they are going to feel comfortable in your faction.

Please note: It's not the fact that the indies want more freedom, it's just the sheer amount of stuff involved with joining a faction that is daunting. They are genuinely scared of factions because they are unsure as to the nature of the faction (nice or nasty).

STOP CRYING BECAUSE INDIES DON'T KNOW HOW TO RP. THE ONLY WAY THEY ARE GOING TO LEARN IS BY YOU SHOWING THEM!

There, that is my opinion, in my eyes the system is far to complex for new players and therefore because they are intimidated they become Indy for fear of sanction or abuse. I want you all to take this to mind.

Most of your statments fails agianst lolwutters. They don't care.

Oh and we tried. We realy tried as all opg tried. Look how it ended. Everyone got pissed so hard taht opne of the most active faction which was rping for corsairs not in gamma died. Happy?
