Discovery "RP" 24/7

POB's POB's

We aren't going to become bootleg EVE. POBs do not encourage RP, and giving people more room to play bootleg Stellaris means that people just get more invested in their own particular pixel empire instead of writing and creating an interesting story - the core of roleplay. I've seen this happen with POBs and there is zero interesting RP surrounding the vast majority of them, much less is the gameplay concerning sieging or defending them fun. If you want an example of POB level salt in a game that isn't Disco, look at Planetside 2. Anytime a faction locks a continent, a torrent of salt occurs immediately after because the people who just lost don't give a rat's ass about fun gameplay, they give a rat's ass about winning. Same for POBs, or any territory system.

The problem is a cultural issue partly encouraged by staff over the years. We've also had a turnover of staff, who I pray can do their best to dredge things up from where they are currently to something more interesting, and fun.
