and again, i had a base in a gallic system, nothing to do, nothing to expect, gouvernement want only money, no place for civilian, nothing surprising in the lake of interest! it is to far from all. like said several person liberty rheinland bretonia are prefered! a bit of *desespoir* i bought a council bs for nothing, they have a bad point of view, i don't know exactly if grn is the same, but it could be not surprising. really i lost 3 year to try to make these system atractive but but nothing to do! as answer i had a base destroyed all my account deleted, all my money robbed, completly disgusted i am like say my friend yoda.
Alors you know now, the gauls GRN or the Council.............to avoid to say what i mean
Important Reasons why there is few Galic players :
-Big Reason , Galic restart is a pain to get ship ready for battle, purchase it at far system and get it back to Leeds,
-Frequent Reason, Galic side is constantly ganked , people dont like to loose every time , so after few ganks , they decide to swicth side and become gakers to.
-Old Freelancer players avoiding new hause is MINOR reason true ,
-But , "Gauls are bad guys so nobody want to play them" is NO reason at all , net is full of games with bad guys roles and people play them all the time . If anything, people are tired of all the heroes games everywere , and they search something refreshing.
Dungeon Keeper , GTA , God of War , Saints Row or Disgaea series are some examples of thise games .

I disagree. This community has a distinct lack of people stepping outside of their comfort zone to see what it feels like to bad, imo. Also in all those examples, you're forced to play "bad" morally questionable characters, and they're still the protagonists, not the antagonists. Discovery has so much player choice when it comes to picking if you want to be a protagonist or antagonist, perhaps to a fault.
Due to the time zone I am in, whenever I logged BAF indie I usually go up against 2 or more Gallic forces except for 3 engagements against Gallic Caps ( 1 Valor and 2 separate Battle Cruisers) in my Bret Carrier and one engagement in my gunboat against a Gallic Battlecruiser (which I lost in all 4 battles). It is usually me getting ganked by Gallic forces and I have not seen any of the BAF/Allied forces ever gank Gallic ships. What system is all this ganking taking place? The BAF| I have watched engage enemy forces never allowed miss match PvP even when I was new to Disco FL and had the ideology of "Destroy the enemy with over whelming force". IF YOU REALLY WANT TO ATTRACT PLAYERS TO GALLIA then you need to make Gallia the most abundant mining zone system in the game. When Money talks then Ideologies take a walk. You will also need to make trade lanes/systems in Gallia more travel friendly like it is in Liberty and Rheiland (if you haven't already) this combo will attract Miners,Traders, Pirates and PoB builders alike. Increased exposure and friendly attitude towards border worlds non-criminal factions will increase traffic and interaction even more after Dev team increases Mining field numbers by minimal of 30-50% above all the other houses and if you give factions like the Zoners area to put their bases and NFZ in more abundantly then you will have Jump Traffic Trading like no other House System in Disco. As long as the Gallic Government does not try to rope Indie factions into their war then this would work. The end result will be more players in Gallic systems resulting in about 20-30% of those players joining Gallic Military forces to protect their newly found Indie interests in Gallia. Building bad azz ships is not the key, Commerce is. Even if the increase in Mining fields is temporary in some systems like for 6 months as an example of temporary (just make sure you post the mining areas that are temp so you don't piss off the PoB guys after they build a base there). Also the Dev and Forum moderators need to advertise the Mining/Commerce aspect in their newbie intro package as well as to the Vets of Disco. In the in game hint pop-ups advertise that Gallia is the most multiple Ore rich House system in the game. then after 6 months reduce the Mining fields numbers to 15% more fields than any other House system. Here is an example idea on how to fit it in RP. Have Planet Chateau-Tierry in Ile-de-France implode on itself then expand throwing some new energy loaded ore called Sunstone ORE, or something like, that Gallia has been secretly mining which if added to the power generator of any ship that it increases ship power out put to engines, shields and weapons. Use this as the secret element Gallia has to their war machines being so powerful. This will cause all other houses to send spies to obtain the ore that they need to build counter measure shields and weapons and also recruit Indie Miners and Haulers to smuggle it out for a solid risk/reward profit for lets say 22,000-25,000 credits per unit in Cambridge Research Station, Alster Shipyard in Hamburg and Kodiak Research Station in Alaska and only sells for 4,000-5,000 a unit in the Gallic Systems with a heavy Gov licensing fee to handle this particular ore. Have this be the temp mining field for 6 months to a year. We don't want Gallia to get too big for their britches. Also put 1-3 ming fields in each of the Gallic systems with different Ores selling cheaply in Gallia but seriously profitable the farther the House system sell point is. I am still fairly new as to how to RP an idea into Disco so keep that in mind when you comment on this idea. Can you imagine trying to get that costly and important ore passed Gallic forces, opportunists and pirates in a 3,000-5,000 unit wimpy hauler going through that many systems? It will either be extremely thrilling upon delivery or extremely frustrating when pirated for credits, partial load and destruction of ship. You would also be able to hold a Bretonia/Liberty Gov Event where all Legal and Illegal Haulers are called to smuggle said Ore for the war effort having an immunity card issued by both Gov agencies for the Illegal Haulers in this kind of event. You Vets will have to figure out the RP on this idea. Just food for thought.As usual my post is a long winded post.
