Great, I like most of the things you mentioned. All of them are good to hear, but the general question remains "who do we contact to change what?".
Since, as a community member, I can give ideas, and my views on different aspects of the game. But since, I, and most of the members don't know how things work inside the dev team, their decision making and if at all we could contribute, what we can contribute, I don't know how to help them, with whatever I can possibly do.
Also, on the Gallic part, there are a lot of useless systems in there. Some systems, I haven't seen much activity, if not no activity since I started playing are : Artois, Auvergne, Corse, Franche-Comte, Savoie.
The rest of the Gallic systems can be shrunk in size, with the removal of a lot of space objects such as undockable planets (is it only me, or anyone else thinks that there are hell a lot of those planets in Gallia). Gallia indeed has a lot of potential, and with the removal of the said systems, and the shrinkage in size, with the addition of some Gallic origin commodities, and contrabands, I can see Gallia being more active.
The economy seems reasonable to me. Instead of a complete overhaul, people can point out the ones that don't make sense, or some commodities that are not properly used when and where possible. It is more less work and would actually let the people choose and give ideas about commodities that are mostly traded, used in the mod.
And removal of guard systems is a good option too, bar the few ones that provide some activity, and those eye candies in there can be used in some other system maybe (?). While the Omicrons would be shrunked/reworked apparently, thanks to Treewyrm, the Omegas and the some of the Sigmas maybe good with some reworking too.
And yet again, I am just a common member, who likes to play here, and wants this place to be a better one. I don't know how these things will be implemented, but to my knowledge, if they are implemented, that will be awesome.
