Perhaps a sever message would help? Something like:
"The New York system is not a chat room. Unless you have a valid RP reason for being here, move on. As is all systems, OORP chat is forbidden by server rules."
Now that isnt exactly how it should be worded, but you guys get the idea Im tryin to express here. I HATE the fact that while the rest of the Sirius sector is just about empty, you'll always find 20-30 people flying around the NY system.
I also agree with the idea of making a new system for newbs to start out in. I'd put it smack dab in the middle of the map, with a JH to New York, New Berlin, New London and New Tokyo. Nothing else in this system at all. NO spaceports, no docking rings, no planets. Just 4 JH's.
The server kicks players who are in this system for more than 30 mins (max).
This system would be off limits to all players above the rank of lvl 30 and very serious sactions for any member reported violating this rule
