1: We approach RP much like life. It can be a variety of things: sometimes it's relaxed and easy-going, sometimes it's outright comical, sometimes it's miserable and all you can do is just try to survive. Sometimes you feel like you're in the middle of 24 and nobody taught you how to be the replacement Jack Baeur, too!
Overall, though, our aim is to have fun. We don't think we could honestly promise to write a grimdark space horror saga where everyone's miserable all the time. We would be miserable all the time, too! But that said: we aren't aiming for Coffee Shop In Space. The Station Mission are intended to provide additional conflict and overarching plot for players who want that, and the Nebula Station itself is intended to provide both a backdrop for continuous storytelling and the opportunity for more lighthearted, relaxed play.
TL;DR -- we hope it's a little bit of everything, and our rule of thumb is "play what you want to play".
2: Much like CRAU, we're still deciding on the official powernerfing decision. What we are leaning towards, but haven't officially put the Stamp Of The Mod down on yet, is having characters mostly nerfed within the Station itself, but allowed to run wild and free beyond its borders. We are thinking Galactic Exploration would probably not want its recruits to blow up the very expensive space station if possible...
