I usually play for the RP, I'm still developing my first character. I do some PvP sometimes, usually in large group fights, so nowadays I do both, about every day
well when i first logged here and managed to get my first guardian armed and armored there was like really big rheinland vs liberty fleets clash, caps but also lots of fighters(very skilled i remember).
so that's what i found to be awesome, the ideea of really INGAME sides like liberty is liberty and rheinland is rheinland..etc and they all will fully care to eachother against the common enemy(it was not)
That's whi i played disco!
sadly soon after i also found out that all is just a skype squads which means that a same side fighter wont cover you but will metagame towards its friends that are in enemy ships.... which makes that all RP and rules to be pointlessand ridiculous, to be abide by the newbs maybe..
that was in 86...ever since i only log rarely like once a week for an hour or 20 minutes be cause That Magic is no more here to be found..
wooow even conn is deserted now 90% of the time....i see lots of fellas saying that game drifting away is be cause of the relation traders pirates caps snubs...i say is about the fair play to eachother and skype dinosauring isn't helping at all it seems quite the opposite.
like i said: keep doing that and your toy will broke.

1.All RP, rofl srsly and the amount of players, thats all! Cause PvP I have enough in Crossfire cause the mechanics there for VHF pvp s are way better as you can roll and VHFs are actually easier targets as they should be.
2. Capital Ships including Gunboats, no other mod has a nice Cap Ship fight like this one, its turret zoom and turret view is awesome, other mods seem to have problem with this.
3. Again RP, you can pretend almost anything here it just has to be reasonable and logical. However some newbs still have to learn it... So realy like Sol said a few people who are worth it all, a few people who actually are RPing and giving alot of effort in this. I like it when I meet some of them, having like long RPs but it makes it interesting. I experienced RPers that RP realy special so you even forget the time and get addicted begging "Pls don't stop RP". But then there are those who just direclty Provoke in RP and the result of provoking RP is mostly, doesn't mean all the time, a PvP fight which they get their asses kicked and go cry on forums about lack of RP. newbs
4. Well and to be honest most of my friends play Discovery so 8|
5. I wont say anything about systems and all as for sure Crossfire wins in this it has different sectors and realy awesome NPCs, I wish Discovery had this oppurtunity too as it just lacks on systems. But even with that, the systems are OK if you actually take your time and go discover them, however. It seems like with the Wikipedia people just get too lazy to discover and just check every DAMN single thing on the Wiki. I'm realy happy that at least the current wiki is outdated so people actually have to search for something B|
6. I dunno why I wrote all this as I had actually many other things in my head that I wanted to write here but I thought I have to reply thanks for your patience of reading all the sh** I've wrote up there (bow) 8|
Oh yes also this:

In other words, in other mods you don't care what affiliaton you have, you just go ight, it does't matter if you have Navy- affiliation and you kill Liberty Police, you are a Zoner but you kill every single Faction in the system. So yes Discovery has this nice thing of actually feeling like Liberty and beeing Liberty at all, or Rheinland or whatever faction you are.
