I must second this sentiment - it seems when people try to make Sigmas have some activity there is often pressure to just ...make it stop with both in-game and oorp pressure.
I was even called out publicly by a prominent member for "trolling" when attemting to make the Sigma systems alive by implementing someone else's idea (with permission) and thinking it through with feedback from multiple people over a long period before implementing it. I heard the same pointed out by others that played in the region.
Wouldn't the Sigma regions having more activity benefit your faction? I mean you get reasons to log and get far without AFK sitting in systems. It's just hard to get my head around as Shawn has pointed out - having activity is a good thing no?
