anything involving scidata is a hard pass from me

i dont want to sit down every day after work grinding scidata, and i know no one else in my faction wants to either

This statement literally proves what has killed this mod over the years. You don't want to do more, so you pressure to lower the bar to suit yourself. Apparently what you want is not what is best for the mod or anyone who is willing to put effort into it. I often wonder how people can complain about this place and then also suppress change, when its so obvious that this attitude you have is the status quo that keeps this place lacking.

Freelancer was, is, and always will be a space shooter sim. As said before, it's not Farming Simulator 2003. I've been a part of a siege event that changed the map. The first day or two were cool and good, after that, it was just people falling asleep in discord (Kalh snores) and shooting a stationary object. As much as I absolutely hate agreeing with Lemon on anything, he is indeed correct. It's okay in the short term, but in the long term, it's an event that lasts a day or two at most, and it takes weeks of nonstop grinding to prepare.

Some of us have these things called jobs. Or friends (Okay, I don't have friends, but my point stands). We can't spend 80 hours a week playing Freelancer. The little time that we can spend on it is something we want to be fun. Not a boring grind.

In short, leave things as they are. If the time comes that the discovery community's chapter comes to a close, let it. I'm sure we've all had good times, and bad times here. Don't beat a dead horse.
