Inside the "Looking For Group" sub-forum description and pinned thread is the sentence "Flying Discovery Freelancer solo is never going to be fun, especially for a new player"

This isn't the best way to sell the mod to forum visitors. While it may or may not be true (depends on who you are and how you enjoy video games), the negative wording and tone isn't supportive to any readers who are flying solo. It can dishearten the reader. I suggest we remove that poorly worded sentence.

While I have your attention, may I propose secondly an updated paragraph which reads better and asks for less from the reader. Currently the post says:

Quote:Flying Discovery Freelancer solo is never going to be fun, especially for a new player.
You can post in this forum and give a brief description of your level of new-ness, your experiences, preferences in characters/locations/IDs and other.

Try to mention useful things such as:
*Your overall experience on the server.
*Your existing characters (factions they belong to, you do not have to disclose the names).
*What are you looking for in terms of RP, PVP and other.
*Do you enjoy using VoIP communications such as Teamspeak.
*Other quirks and tidbits you might want to share with potential friends.

Once you post a thread, it will remain in this thread until you tell a staff member to remove it.
Other players will not be able to post in your thread after you do. This allows for a focus on a player's confidentiality in regards to what their server presence is.

After your thread is posted, Player Groups and Individuals can then use the forum PM function to contact you with proposals.

Which I think can be improved to something like:

Quote:Are you looking for a wingman?

Post in this sub-forum so other community members can contact you and you can fly as a team.

If you'd like, it would be useful to include:

1. What you are looking to play (Trading, Mining, Military, Pirate etc)

2. Your current character's factions (Liberty Navy, Outcasts etc)

3. Any other info you might want to share so others understand your play-style and wants.

4. What your experience is on Freelancer Discovery (Weeks, months or years)

Your thread will remain up until you tell a staff member to remove it.

Community members will not be able to reply in your thread. Member's can use the forum PM function to contact you with proposals.

Side note: It would look better to have the sub-forum title be "Looking for Group" or "Find other players" (The word 'Find' is more powerful than 'Look') not "LFG: Looking For Group". No need for the acronym.
