Post Re: Devs: Use forums for things where Discord is inferior
Well I will still post topics I feel are happening like the examples below. Really I'll still be maintaining and talking about ideas that are great on Discord as at least some ideas I'm presented I can do alone and get them done before said patch or universe reset.

Supose the best example is Twisted Zone as it was done with the playerbase in general.

Sited the topic that started it within the forum post.

Examples:
Tech 21 & 22 Ruins.

Do you feel the Wild Warp Beacons should be changed?

Pixel's added some new Apollo to Annihilator mobile drones!

Improved Termites

Pixel's working on planets/gas giants/rings!

Created new loading screen skin/mod

User Interface Update

From the beginning... Blueprints. Mission Issue.

Thanks these are great and I have read a number of these, though most of them aren't of the category that drove me to bring up this problem.

BTW to clarify my intent with this post wasn't to discourage Discord use, especially for things its good for like having instant interaction or getting quick immediate feedback on ideas and things. What drove me to write this post was the equivalent of "insider trading" that appears to be occurring.

For certain significant in-game mechanics/ships/items that people had spent months of game time and billions of credits acquiring, there were material changes being proposed for these but with only erratic knowledge made public about it via an inconsistent mix of Discord and the Forums. If you spent hours researching the Discord chat logs you can get a pretty good sense though of where certain items and in-game mechanics are going. If they are getting nerfed you can then dump those items now while they still have high prices selling them to suckers who dont have the time to scour Discord chat.

While I guess technically this is allowed and there will always be some information asymmetry, it doesn't seem like something that should be encouraged or made worse through dilution of communication channels.
