True, we are waiting that, but we aren't wasting time in the meanwhile. If Igiss doesn't approves it, we can just throw it as an OpenSP mod. And why wouldn't he want a spin-off? Do you think that everyone will run from Discovery .86 to DAU? Come on, DAU will be nothing compared to .86 if you do it right.

* Not quite, everything is getting replaced except for the vanilla models
** True, but can I really believe that the Discovery Dev Team will add this?
*** I've dedicated a lot of time doing this already, I've asked Frozenballs if he wanted some ALE. editing done by me some while ago, on the thread that he opened. But I didn't got replied back, so I didn't insisted.

EDIT ***: And to see all the community's / our ideas become vain smoke? No thanks actually.

Thing is what are you trying to achieve compared with discovery?

a) make different storyline - can't do your own storyline in disco just like that yes

b) add new features (i.e. cloaking, capital ship docking) - some of the things are on way while others should be added

c) completely changes some aspects compared with disco ("Space is now 500% more dangerous", "systems are 30% larger") - that's not likely to happen in disco

If try to do all this at once while at the same time while replacing everything but vanilla models it will take a LOT of work. However no matter how teschny might laugh discovery development always needs people, especially if one tries to add something new and different (like codenames achieved trough missions etc).
So there's a choice, make own mod (depending on what Igiss allows) and have to do a LOT of work and possibly having some great stuff, but ending with some small number of players (story of SW and Crossfire) or develop disco resulting in a mod where not everything is exactly what you would want but it gets used by more people.

California:

As the Xenos struck down Rio Grande, the Liberty Rogues and Lane Hackers formed a joint-attack plan. With the LR bringing in thier Scylla, the Hacker's a Storta, the two groups prepared to assault California.

The Storta exited Magellan with its escorts and launched an,attack on the San Diego Border Station. Heavily damaging it, San Diego evacuated all personell and self destructed, taking out a Hacker Gunship in the blast. Unfased, the Hackers moved to California Minor, meeting the Rogues. Together the two overwhelmed California Minor's defenses and paved the way for Hacker and Rogue transport filled with pirate soldiers. Managing to land despite heavy fire from planetary forces. As Liberty Marines deployed, thier air cover was overwhelmed. Caught between the pirate soldiers and aircraft, the Marines were slaughtered. California Minor became a wretched hive of scum and villany.
As this transpired, Hacker Broadsword and Rogue Barghest bombers,launched an assault on the Yukon. As good as tge first strike was, the second force was caught by surprise; the flagship of the Sixth Fleet, the apply-named carrier Los Angeles, was in orbit with the Iwo Jima, a LABC. As fighter wings streemed from the carrier, catching the pirates in a swarm. Retreating to Riverside, the fighting continued. Riverside was heavily damaged in the battle, nearly destroying it.

Meanwhile, the dreadnought Harmony and the LABC ThunderBay caught the Scylla and Storta as they attempted to assault Willard. Fairing badly, and barely escaping, the two ships managed ro retreat to the Magellan gate.

Now, California is divided: Cali Minor side is Pirate, while Los Angeles stays lawful. The LNS Los Angeles held at Mojave, securing the pipeline to planet Los Angeles. Harmony now guards Willard, which fares attacks every day, only saved by frequent supplies run in using diversions and escorts. Navy HighCom is currently trying to form a plan,to retake C Minor.



So, thoughts? Lose a stationary, gain one. I'll screw over the pirates more in Ontario, give Liberty a break.

True, but every mod goes through this stage. Even Discovery passed through this as many said me.

Well yes.. some 5? years ago when there 5000+ players online on all flservers, now it's about 500, don't think it will be going up in the future.

EDIT: Imo what made discovery get more people back then was
a) most vanilla storyline/development/systems etc
b) new stuff on top of that (compared with hamburg city)

No go yet for California. Lacking and not what we were looking for.

Then give me a better idea of what you want.
