Official Activity Q4 2025

[vladimir26]

The problem lies with how people conduct themselves in-game as a result. Targeting individuals in-game as a result of external fall-outs, planned PoB sieges that while are vaguely validated by RP, are evidenced to be a result of OOC spite. The aforementioned trade enjoyers that use the available API to create lists of people to avoid because god forbid there's any friction or risk to your money-making in a place as hostile as space. Etc. It might well not be due to any particular Discord server, that wasn't really my point either. But it is happening. I'm not pointing the finger at any specific individual, nor am I defending anyone. Every side is to blame, including us staff for any situation that we haven't handled well.

I'm around for a couple of years, and what you just mentioned I found when I joined. But even so, the server population was high and the activity was booming. The bullies were active daily, and the victims were fighting back and not leaving. What is diferent now? In my opinion the game mechanics who constantly got overcomplicated, the overall development mentality to make flying a ship complicated, sustaining a base harder and craft equipment slower. Maybe just don't turn disco into a real simulator. There are plenty out there.

So now, when a certain individual or group is being persecuted by these witch hunts planned in obscure discord servers, be sure they will leave, what to stay for?

You can't change the people. We are as such and shall be like this forever, be it witch hunters, bullies, crusaders, traders, victims, you name it. But you can improve the overall gameplay. In one of those very rare moments when you're not witch hunted or your base is sieged, you have the game to enjoy.
