More Galic players = less need for 136 LN groups .

Same applies to Rheinland, Kusari and even Bretonia would appreciate boost.
Well , i see no reason against shifting beginners restarts to different house every month , that will boost activity of other houses and will remove some stress (and bad sides of high activity) from Liberty .

If you push, a certain percentage of the people will feel pushed to hard they leave altogether. So if you want activity to go to another place, you should pull, not push. There's too much pushing and too little pulling everywhere in disco. Also more hugs are needed.

You've convinced me, I've got to admit. Can remember times where we've been "pushed" and it hasn't strictly worked.
The OP changed his mind so this thread can be locked, right? At this point it will only be re-iteration of redundant points.
I joined in Nov 18 2017 and when i noticed the flood of liberty Navy factions I choose to explore Sirius to look for and planned where home was going to be after i got the feel for Disco. Most Newbies do not have the patience to do this nor have the Veterans been helpful when I asked questions as a newbie except for Darkseid667 in game and some answers in Forum threads. Always the answer "go to forums" without even a hint as to what to look for in forums. I found Forums not user friendly in "search box" as a newbie. As someone who is still relatively new, I think if (FL Engine allows this) the start of newbie char was given the choice of his/her starting point in the Major Houses it would cause a more spread out interaction of new players. Yes I did find the "Aerelm's Guide to "4.87 Restart Templates" thread after I acquired 13 different chars. Make it to where the option is at start and you might see a positive for Disco. Human nature is to remain centered where they are most familiar so starting in Liberty is why they have enough to over take all the other houses combined. I live in the USA and most would expect me to have Liberty Cap ship but I don't. I have BAF and Zoner Caps, and because of Darkseid667's help ingame Bretonia is where my home and interest lays. So I would encourage the vets to take the time to help new players if you want to see Disco grow past Liberty interests.
iv never had a LN ship or character , there's already to many people playing them, so I kinda agree with this ! I need to make an outcast go pirating in liberty by the sounds of it .

Have you considered making local pirate instead? We have had enough of Outcasts enough the years already. How about playing an awesome Lane Hacker instead? Those are much harder to find but tenfold cooler than the rest of pirates.
it is not that they want to double triple the numbers of a faction. it is the power that attract them they get to cruise around in a battle ship and that's it and push some people around. if you think it is any other reason then you are blind. no one wants to be a lacky.
