Q: "What can we do to make Gallia more attractive to other players?"
A: "Wait 'till .86 is released. Core systems added, tech updated"

Simple...

You should judge Gallia after she is in her full beauty.

You mean this discussion or mod developing ?

The mod development. My point is, there's not a lot you can do to attract people to Galia if those people are like me who are disappointed by the way it's designed. Personally, I'm not going to waste time there in the foreseeable future (unless the SCRA tells me to scout it, or something...).

@Altaris: If Galia's "full beauty" follows the current trend, I'm going to facepalm. The devs knew no-one was going to go in there, so they pumped it full off WTF eye candy to try and attract people that way. All they succeeded in doing was creating a useless addition that doesn't make sense.

Seriously. It's like playing in a never-ending guard system with tradelanes and gates.

What to do to make Gallia more attractive to other players? Because of this question I can't have a good night sleep... and it makes me mad.

Well ... I'd go to Gallia more if my previous experiences there were a bit more positive. The player factions there don't like ANYONE from outside Gallia. Had my run in with them thinking we were gonna be able to get along ... but no ... I got the get out or else speech. Your Gallia player factions want it all to themselves ... so ... Gallia is for Gallians ... don't expect to go back there anytime soon.

Also ... present rules (or at least last I checked) make Gallia weapons outside Gallia illegal. So much for being on good terms with the Council or the Maqui ... can't use their ships or weapons anywhere else ... and like I said above ... don't try flying a non-Gallia ship into Gallia or you'll be told to leave (at gunpoint).

So ... to get people (at least me) interested in frequenting Gallia ...

#1 ... player factions there need to tone down the testosterone a bit (NPC's can use a bit lower levels as well)
#2 ... remove the ship/weapons restrictions so everyone can enjoy flying their brand of ships and weaponry (which right now are a bit too powerful and can use some tweaking)

Those are pretty much my take on the status of Gallia ... Gallia player factions don't wanna play with outsiders and Gallian ships/equipment cannot be used outside Gallia (which basically means you're a dead duck trying to enter the place.

Um 85 was like 6month's late of release date,so waiting for 86? don't think so.

Making people go there more? easy,don't make it so dam hard to get there. I have 4 junker char's. Not 1 will go there.It takes to long,and to many bloody mine field's. With that said you think a big,slow trade ship is going to go there? Not likely,not with no really good trade route's,and so many obstacles.

Santa.Claus tried to go to Gallia the other day to deliver some presents.

Gallia killed Santa.Claus 10m from the jump hole.

Gallia gets no Christmas this year.

Gallia is naughty.

First off, i think we need some ORE mines in gallia. we have GMS, (gallic metal service) as miners, lets give miners somthing to mine! also, someone come up witha gallic mining vessal, please? As for telling sirrian ships to GTFO, dont blame those who are RPing their side, blame the RP of the mod. We are merely following what is our role as set by the great I-man. The battleships on each gate are NEEDED, your not MEANT to be able to powertrade through there, and it really does help cut down on the lolwuts. (/restart. as exile said, really fooked this)

hrm. Perhaps we need some generic gallian ID's. Gallic miner, gallic citizen.. etc.. Currently the only ID's are Civ and Gallic factions.

Still, dont blame the players.

I think a lot of good work was put into gallia, but its still a flop.

There are already too many systems that cant be filled even when player number is 200.

In gallia you get shot at, its very hard to establish yourself there, there are only few people to play with there anyway, you cant take the new ships anywhere.

So there is absolutely no reason for me to go there.

On top of that, some people were very territorial about it, said you cant trade between galia and houses, said you cant go there with that ship/faction, and so on.

May be RP reasons for it, but those RP reasons can be changed more easily than anything else.

I think the work should have been put into making a tutorial starsystem/minimission instead. It would have taken 1/5th of the work that making 1 gallic system takes, and would have greatly reduced the number of 'lolwuts' on the server.
