Truthfully? Almost only reason why Sairs raided old Eta spontaneously just before the 4.86 release was because there were oc blimps there grinding missions. Back then Eta was the only place in Disco where you could get decent payout for taking missions so it always had someone in it.

I myself was kinda hoping that after 4.86 each war zone with good missions would get a little bit of that, whereas you'd have 1-2 caps grinding missions which is an awesome activity starter (skype alerts about enemy cap in system X "lets log and kill it" -> enemy team logs in to support = activity builds in region without the need for faction driven events).

That said, mission payouts even now rival that of trading easily. Not sure if boosts are necessary.
