I have a suggestion (a few actually but they all work together):
1. beyond necessary bug fixes and what have you, put a stop to all dev work.
2. devs and admins poll the community on what should stay and what should go. no arguing threads or flaming, just simple polls. eg POBs, buffer systems, etc. no topics like zoner caps or etc, becaus that would be counter productive.
3. after polls are done, devs remove those features that the majority has chosen. in the case of POBs, they are turned off for an indefinite time (or until POBs can safely come back).
4. increase the size of the angels, get them (even some of the admins maybe) in penn to greet new players and direct them to factions that could use people.
5.also bring back the beginner restart with the gull.
6. now indies wont like this, but throw out the "no restricting indies" policy and restrict battleships and carriers to official factions, and SRP for indies.
7. Give official factions, as a benefit for reaching officialdom and contributing to the mod, a little bit of influence on storyline.
8. scout the community for possible new devs and hire them. divest power out from aerelm, and put some admin oversight on decisions (i.e if devs want to do something that would be detrimental to the mod, admins could go "Nope!")
9. devs do more regular, but smaller updates. also, more dev transparency (ties in with admin oversight on devs).
10. seriously, shift the focus away from liberty. surely there is someway to randomize where people spawn.
feel free to add to this list.
