no words could have described it better...

activity_Samura.html 10.18:50:19
activity_GMG.html 10.14:21:31 (in case we are including the GMG into the activity of Kusari)
activity_Kishiro.html 6.09:56:12


Now compare that to the Top-3 of Bretonia:


activity_BAF.html 11.12:15:08
activity_Bowex).html 7.16:21:31
activity_BPA).html 4.22:19:30

Or the Top-3 of Rheinland:


activity_Kruger.html 12.06:33:16
activity_[RHA].html 11.11:14:51
activity_[RM.html 8.00:08:42


So yeah, I'd say on par with Rheinland but misses some unlawfuls. Now why is that? Answer: imbalance. The lawfuls have no real intentions whatsoever to fight the unlawfuls due to the badly balanced projectile speeds and tend to log off if in-house criminals show up.
All traditional Kusari unlawfuls have guns with 750m/s projectile speed while the lawfuls have to rely on 600m/s (and with the Sunfrenzy update 650m/s). Put that in combination with slightly slower ships and the result is no fun.
Let's not start about Samura who had our Black Dragons taken away and don't even have a ship to keep up with our enemies anymore. Thanks again to the Dev team for labeling us as Kishiro Mk II -again-.
Back to the Law enforcement: If we take a look at the other houses we'll always find a second gun with alternative gun speed of 700 or 750m/s. Kusari doesn't have those yet has to fight the tiniest ships on the server. So either buff KNF projectile speed or rebalance GC/BD ones.

Also: Concerning war creating activity: Kusari had its most active days back in .84 when the most profitable trade run was between Kusari and Rheinland. The ability to make money creates activity, no need to rely on war.
