The problem here is that, inRP, the Liberty Navy capital fleet is not operated by twelve year olds. We all know why the LNS is considered incompetent by so many. It's because many, many new players see those big ol' dreads and just can't resist the temptation to buy one. Unfortunately, they don't have a clue how to fly one.
I don't see why Rheinland should get inRP benefits for such an ooRP situation, however.
I would make a suggestion. Make a series of events regarding the two wars currently raging.
1)
A couple of Leeds events involving the GRN + Allied mercs/Gaians against BAF + LN and their allies. The point is to take the fight back to the taus and finaly give a light of hope to the Bretonian players. This will bring back to live various factions like the CR, who have to travel all the way to Bretonia to fight.
2)
The Texas/Bering/Hamburg front is lost for Rheinland and no one can save the republic from their failing economy. So I suggest removing Texas, Being, Hudson from the RM ZoI and move the battle front to New Hampshine, maybe cut some systems so it will be easier to reach. People need something new, not the same old song that gets boring after hearing it 100 times.
There's nothing stopping PvP events with in-game consequences from happening....somebody just needs to put the time & effort to coordinate it and make it happen.

No one can save...what? Do you know that for example Interspace Commerce made a deal with government and is returning to Rheinland, including starting giving the government financial support? That Ageira want´s to keep contracts there, even get more (and because of money from IC, government can pay them)? That there is huge amount of resources and heavy industry waiting for customers? That Rheinland shipyards are making ships for Kusari? You can say there are damages, economy is weak and war is lost, that´s okay and more or less true. But please, get rid of that cliché about dead Rheinland economy and the picture of completely broken house...
And what you suggest is exactly what devs did. Did you see the outcome? Less battles, less activity. Majority of people are simply not willing to go all the way through Hamburg-Bremen-New Hamshire-Minnessota to get pew (or to wait there while nobody come). That´s not problem for Liberty players as they got new playground with new enemy. Rheinland didn´t. And Corsairs activity is low and Hessians now too again. Remove those systems from RM Zoi and there won´t be anything left from Rheinland military player base very soon. Look at KNF if you want example how it could end.
Haste, I can say that your point is just as valid as mine. But again, I never said random events. If LN will find their competent players, they are very welcome to join. If not, then I am sorry, why does whole sirius have to suffer because someone want to benefit Liberty and Liberty only?
Vrades, what you suggested is kind of silly. If you think that people don't RP because of those wars going, you're wrong. And if you end those wars, the server will die 100% sure. Because the only two types of activity which are now available are pvp and powermining/trading.

Now I understand your attitude and why you want to reduce roleplay universe and let it be heavily affected by purely PvP/playergaming actions. Why you are focused only on militaries and you don´t care how other entities of Disco universe will/could be affected.
And by the way no, also roleplay is still available on the server. At least I do it quite regularly, ingame as well as on the forums, and I know others who do it as well.

Show me at least single faction that have at least 5 days of pure RP activity.
You all for some reason believe that RP is a chit chat with another character. Well I am about to disappoint you, because PVP is part of RP as well. And you just can not change that, no matter how much you want it. With this offer I actually wish to give this sort of RP to have at least some consequences, rather then being just a senseless pew pew that will not have any outcome.

I´m confused. Since when RP activity is measured by logged time?
