I just typed out a few notes during the showcase so I will put them here for discussion.

• There are over 1000 world. These are procedurally generated but have handcrafted content placed randomly on them.
• Every you see exists and all planetary objects can be visited.
• Illumination is changing based on the atmosphere and the sun type/proximity.
• Animation system and combat system has been reworked from the ground up.
• You can play in 1st or 3rd person.
• Resources exist and are collectable
• You can find enemy camps on planets and/or other random things/locations.
• You can fast travel to your ship.
• You can have companions that aid you on the ship or on ground.
• Visual style for the tech was called by devs as Nasa-Punk as in advanced but worn
• You can choose landing spots on a planet or fast travel to an existing one.
• You jump drive to other systems and can upgrade drive for longer jumps.
• New Atlantis is the biggest city Bethesda ever created. There are more cities:
• Akila city: Western style. Looked like RDR2.
• Cydonia city: Mining city built for resources.
• Neon: Known as Pleasure city. Cyberpunk style.
• There is a mythical group called Constellation. They are the last explorers of humanity and are looking for answers to long lasting humanity's questions. Your main story revolves around them I think.
• Character creation is vastly improved and it's extensive. Mocap used for the making.
• You choose one of 40 (employee) presets and then put more details from there.
• You choose your background and skills. Chef was an example. Your skills affect interactions in the game.
• You can have up to 3 traits and each has pros and cons.
• You get 1 skill per level and you can rank up skills.
• 5 skill trees with 4 ranks per skill. Jetpack, mind-control and Neurostrikes(heavy strikes) shown. Great build diversity.
• They studied data from NASA to strike balance between realism and fun.
• There is dogfighting in space
• Ships are highly customizable and upgradable down to rearranging modules around.
• Can hire crew members with different skills
• Ship has a power allocation system(think of an Equalizer style thingie). You can reallocate power according to situation. Shields and weapons for combat or engine for escaping, etc.
• There's a trait that lets you target specific subsystems on an enemy ship.
• You can destroy ships and loot them or board them and capture them for your fleet.
• You can commit piracy on friendly ships.
• You can build a outpost and produce resources from animals.
• You can build outposts, assign companions to them and keep producing resources. You can decorate outposts and live there.
• Guns are highly customizable down to type of ammo. Melee weapons exist. Miniguns shown.
• Gravity changes with each planet.
• Firing in 0g can push you back.
• Photo mode exists.

Please feel free to add any details I missed.

edit: Here is the full showcase(45 minutes) for people who want to watch it.

tl:dr at the end.

I am one of the many people that were active in Reddit but I am also one of the ones that is going to delete their Reddit account on the 12th of June and move to Lemmy(Fediverse) full time.

I have encountered a specific issue though which I am not sure how to solve.

I wanted to create the equivalent community of /r/greece here, but I can see that the /c/greece is already existent but moderated by a user that is now banned, so that community is in limbo. People recommended 2 things:

1. Request the community in !community_requests@lemmy.ml
2. Create a new /c/greece community in another instance.

I have encountered an issue with both of these solutions.

For the 1st solution, I created a request post 2 days ago which went unanswered(either accepted/declined) while other posts after and before mine, have been answered/resolved. I can understand there has been an increase in users and Dessalines can't administrate/moderate everything on their own but I can see that there are multiple Admins in lemmy.ml and I believe they should be doing something or step down and appoint other people there that want to do it. I have since, recreated the same request post in hopes that I can get the community and bring it to fruition.

For the 2nd solution, I had created the /c/greece community in @lemmy.world but the problem is, that by going there I cannot find any community using the search functionality. I have 2 windows open, one logged into lemmy.ml and one in lemmy.world and when searching the same term, lemmy.world brings massively fewer results for communities so even if I wanted to use my account on lemmy.world I would have to use another instance to even FIND new communities. I am not sure why the reduced number of results but I guess there is an admin setting there that allows for federation with fewer instances.

TL:DR Why is the searching for communities so vastly different between instances and how can users overcome it to discover new communities?

Being a newcomer and seeing as there is an increased amount of users migrating from reddit I wanted to see if there is one, or create a community.

I have found that the community going by country name, has only one user, one mod and that mod is flagged as banned.

Additionally, they are the sole moderator of similar communities by name as to somewhat gatekeep them, I supposed.

What is the course of action from freeing up these communities? Or is it just better to create a new one in another instance and be done with it?
