Back after 14 years...I feel old.

Welcome, welcome back!
Great to see another veteran make their triumphant return, all the more so one from what's more or less the dawn of the game; I can't even imagine how different it must've looked back then, but I'll be glad to hear it if you're inclined to share

I see Darius here has helpfully filled you in on the political situation recap (much appreciated, I needed it too!) and stands ready to offer more, so I'll be glad to try answering any other questions you might have - it is in the nature of DIscovery to undergo radical shifts through the years, and I can personally attest to that after a three-years hiatus.
The 'starter' system's radically changed, wonderful new exploration content and secrets have been deployed, story developments, graphical and mechancial upgrades, oh my!

So please, do ask away, whether here or on the Discord (I personally prefer that, as it lets me respond to people faster, but whatever you're most comfortable with)
