Thoughts on a Discord server?
« on: May 23, 2016, 07:21:37 PM »

Discord is essentially the new IRC. Many communities have one and I thought that since we have an active community of players and modders we could perhaps have one too?

During Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak launch I used to frequent its Discord server and it was really nice, people talked to each other all the time and the devs had a really fast channel to communicate with the playerbase. It's rare to see developers who like to interact a lot with their users and seeing how active Alex is I thought that maybe this is something that could help him and the SS community.

I'd be happy to have a place to chat with you all.  I already lurk more than is healthy for me.

seems i'm a bit late, but i agree, Discord's a really good chat program from what i've seen so far, and it seems to be quite popular. an active SS server would be nice.

Then someone should make it, if one wants something like this done then unilateral action is the best way heh.

I am personally not a fan of Discord myself, but am forced to use it for some things...

I don't really chat in games. I find it to be a distraction from my goals and there is always drama or bickering (unsure if I might be the catalyst for that, people often don't get my sarcasm and straight-talking nature when online lol).

Yes, I'm fun at parties. I know. ;D

if it's just a small one for a handful of people, yeah. looks like it would be. if it was bigger, might wanna let one of the mods create it.

@Cyan, want to create one yourself, or should i?

Are you guys going for a voice chat room or a global text chat? Cause I like the latter for games like starsector but maaan do I never use the former

same for me, i don't use voicechat unless i'm in a multiplayer game with a friend. but text chats can sit in the background for whenever i feel like 'talking' there.

I'm doing it right meow, have a link for you in a second once I get the icon pulled for it (and ask Alex for permission to use it)
