Me and one player that didnt logged, and i handed it to other player in november w 19 days of activity. More than most factions of mod combined (btw, still they 18d last month, so doing well).
And as inactive faction leaders are found to their toys, ill begin a diff group of an almost ded faction, why? Because i want to play and care for the mod. The "power" leaders have is vain, is as big as their egos mostly. A faction is essentially its members. If they are mostly ppl looking for fun and fairplay, well, will be nice to interact w em, if instead they are bored bitter vets, who, when ppl see logging, log off because know will die 100% sure with not even touching its hull
well, you got the meaning.
Do you even think what you're saying throughly and calmly for a second, or is it just posing yourself as a self appointed savior of the server or what? Many people will think that I am being a jerk for saying this but you are not the first faction who managed to become an active trading/mining faction for an amount of time, sir. We even had such factions that dominated the activity charts for years. Not to mention, the mining/trading factions can easily rack up playing time since trading and mining is something that takes up time, and you'll have members who join you just to get some more cash so they can buy a capital ship completely unrelated to your faction. You do your role well at a time when interest vanes so I respect that, but it shouldn't make you feel so superior to us mortals.
As for playing another faction that lacks activity. Did you ever think that getting a faction and a location more active simply means that you have less activity somewhere else? Imagine Kusari being the most active house all of a sudden while the population is the same. How does the server benefit from their activity? It will only mean that Kusari will be more active instead of Liberty, there'll be more interaction in Kusari rather than in Liberty, then you'll have people complaining about how Liberty is a desolate, unfun place to play in.
You can not create activity for every part of the server magically. You playing and getting somewhere else more active will not bring more players to play in the server. It will only shift the focus of players somewhere else and make them roam closer to you, leaving other factions moan for the lack of their own activity in other places.
If you want to keep the diversity of factions while retaining hot activity zones so there is more interaction all over, you just reduce the limits imposed on all the different factions. The Blood Dragons, for example. They are squeezed between the Omicrons and Kusari. They have nothing to do in Kusari and their ID does not allow them to roam into Omicrons and help out their allies, the Order. Just give them ZoI reaching Delta, and they'll be able to take part in an area that enjoys spontaneous activity so the blood dragons can enjoy their diverse roleplay and enrich the area further. It may not make sense in their lore currently, but the lore is written by players and it is subject to change. Make the lore fit to fun rather than trying to fit fun to lore. (this whole paragraph is an example is not really what I am suggesting after a lot of thought, but you get the idea)
This way you can just enjoy any faction you'd like to join, and each would have more contribution to the general activity of the server, retaining their viability for the player, and hopefully through this enrichment there'd be a gradual increase in population. The current system of dividing the active player base between different zones of activity, separating all factions through strict ZOI will not help some to survive no matter how hard you try. Let alone factions, this is killing the server itself with everybody spread all around, with huge gaps of no activity in the areas inbetween. We no longer have 200 players that can easily fill all the zones and make playing everywhere viable. Get real.

The effort some people put in last years to make the skill gap even more pronunciated is the why some guys cant find "good pews" just easy blues. Funny enough they complain of that, as if isnt something they worked hard for, having sure no one have a chance against em.
Theres zillions more. What i want make people eralize is that we are getting new players, wecant keep em tho. Thats the main problem.
You are really getting on my nerves with comments such as these.
Yeah, there's a group of people with the only purpose of being mean to newbies and getting ez blue kills by killing them over and over. And that group of people are everyone that have an older register date than your own forum account.

Free post count. At least not one liners.

Why are they instead crying on the forum about how they got killed by noobs when they would have pwned 5 of them single-handedly if it wasnt for missiles?
Is it really because they don't like to blow noobs up out of the kindness of their hearts?
Or is it because missiles don't need 5 years training, age 15-30, russian widescreen, 129.9 frame rate, and aimbot-like aim to be moderately effective?
Is it maybe because some of those so called bittervets could have used the broken stuff that obsoletes all the other toys but they might not really think that it is the right way to enjoy a game?
One side wants broken things, the other side wants not broken things and the side that wants broken things seem to assume they have the morally high ground here. You're ridiculous, Karlotta.
By all means, get yourself a good gathering and make the devs re-introduce the broken ships with hitboxes and missiles. I couldn't care less personally. But I'll say it if I think it is not good for my fun, and if the consensus then is that what you say makes more sense than what I suggest, they can stay.
On the other hand, at the very least, you are no different than those who complain about broken stuff because they can't get ez blues, because you're complaining the very same way for the return of the broken stuff because you can't kill 'so called vets' easily despite their 5 years training. The amount of hypocrisy is too damn high here.
