How to make Discovery better?

Alex, Nooblet,

I never said all Independants are a problem. I stated the majority of independants are. If you aren't breaking the rules, then you have nothing to worry about regarding stiffer penalties for doing so. I play an Independant myself, and plan to continue playing it. The fact that some independants refrain from abusing the system does not change the fact that most do abuse it. If the only way to stop that abuse is to limit the abillity of all independants to do so, then I, as an indie player, accept that. I would rather have an immersive story and role play community than the ability to fly a battleship. I would rather have a rule abiding community that interacts with each other than the abillity to fly a cruiser. Most characters should not have a capital ship anyway. Capital ships are supposed to be few and far between, not flying around Sirius in groups like fighter wing.

It's not the ones who don't read the rules that are the big problem. All you have to do to stop the majority of those kinds of oorp violations is tell the player to stop and that they are breaking a rule and can be banned for it. Nintey percent of the time, they stop. It's the established players who deny the fact that they are breaking rules and the ones that do so to get things they normally could not.

Ivan,

Monetary rewards are really counterproductive. It is already to easy to gather the credits neaded to buy the best equipment. I noted in an earlier post that in an hour and a half a brand new player can make a million credits. An established character makes anywhere from ten million and up a run. That means using only the easy short runs a player can gather two hundred million in around twenty trips. Any faster and you may as well hand out capital ships at character creation. I applaud the fact that your are seeking solutions, but monetary rewards are not it.
