By any chance have you noticed the cycle of intensive world building, progressive loss of thematic focus and eventually player drop out sprees that seems to affect sci-fi NRPs?

Interstellar Ascension is perhaps the most interest case study of such NRP cycle.

Old wounds cut deep. 
Though I agree, this cycle results in the death of easily 90% of the NRPs here. Myself and [@Terminal], by his suggestion, had been deliberating writing a guide on what causes this, how to avoid it and to just generally raise awareness of it. It is the number cause of death in the NRP section. 

If that work would possibly be better transferred here, then I'm happy to speak frankly and honestly about that particular RP, as a case study, as the GM.
