NQ wants this to be a community game. They want folks to play together and build relationships.
We are building relationships... in Discord. We can't build relationships ***In Game*** because the communication tools in game are awful. This is, IMnsHO, the single biggest mistake that NQ has made, and is continuing to make.
If they want this to be a community building game, then they need to provide the communication tools to actually build communities. This includes mission terminals, player market terminals, etc but it also includes, threaded chat, tags, filtered customization chat tabs, in game email, ship hailing, and proximity voice. Without these, we are alone in game, and together in Discord.
