No doubt, in lore, there are countless scientists attempting to refine Witchspace travel, but for now we are stuck with travelling to the Primary Star only.
Of course, from an out of game perspective, there are a few groups who built themselves around the currents travel system. They pride themselves on enjoying the lengthy supercruise times and is, in fact, an enjoyable experience for them. One such group is the Hutton Orbital Truckers who formed themselves around the Outpost in Alpha Centauri. I suspect large groups like that will be disappointed with a change that nerfs the SC aspect of system travel. So don't hold your breath for a change any time soon.

My guess is the Thargoid's advanced understanding of witch space allows them to "burrow" through your ship's tunnel mid-transition.

... Or am I the only weirdo that would enjoy doing that?

LordPsymonI found one, but you're required to be interviewed before they let you into the voice RP section. Obsidian Ant promoted it as the Elite Dangerous Roleplay server. I'd give it a miss personally.
If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's pretty restrictive and rulesy. It's also confined to I think five systems for the actual RP experience, too.

John Mathurin (Xeknos)It's basically just so the streamer who created it can pretend to be a cop and interdict people for her channel content. Best to avoid.
Hmm...

I think I have a pretty good idea what you're planning, and I approve.

I'm not sure I particularly care for this style. All my previous RP experience was done in game or via a forum based MUD where the RP was very much designed to operate as a game.
Posts were short and concise, designed to maintain a steady flow at as close to the rate of natural conversation as possible. Word walling and slow typing were discouraged.
All posts were done in strict third person limited perspective... the perspective of the viewer, the other players. Players can't read minds, so emoting thoughts and feelings was frowned upon.
The focus was player interactions, so extended conversations with NPCs in the company of players was seen as odd.
Inara seems to run their RP system more like a collaborative novel, which I have little problem with, but I now have to decide to either conform, or be the one guy no one can see inside the head of.
