The wars between Corsairs and Outcasts where always a guarantee for a lot of activity and very active factions.
Ok, maybe it got a little out of hand somethimes, but it was big fun and a lot of exitement.
So placing some system between them was a very bad idea.
Better remove it or make some short lanes in it or something. it has killed the action overthere.
Second;
Again about Connecticut.
Besides it keeps players not playing the game there's another thing.
It takes away part of the magic of the game.
I remember not going to Conn the first year i played, because i was bad in pvp anyway.
And the vastness of the Freelancer universe and the different far away systems and their ships and armor really had a kind of magic to it.
You could travel to unknown far away systems and see ships and armor there who where amazing and different. It had real magic.
Then i started going to Conn, because the Navy trained there.
(they could train in their Guard system yust as well, thats where they are for).
But anyway; there i yust ran into all imagible ships, like the Coalition Gunboat.
At first i was exited, wow, a Coalition Gunboat. But then i was not so happy.
It took away a lot of the magic of the game. You dont have to travel and explore , you yust go to Conn. And then it's not RP, but yust Dave saying, ''he man, with or without bots"!?! Really stupid gamekilling in my opinion, gone the magic.
