OORP "Hanging out"

[sovereign]

Starting location is serverside right?, how about switching starting location once per month, to kushari, rheinland and bretonia too?

Now THAT is a feasible idea. Still maintains atmosphere (which a special start system wouldn't do) but wouldn't hurt things much; provided low level NPCs were provided. Seriously, if a starflea manages to survive a Hessian battlegroup their first day on the server they deserve a medal.

It would work beautifully if story requirements were dropped, story is already insanely unbalanced as is (remember fighting Rheinland fleet with 5 fighters? HAHAHA, glhf. I had to cruise a lot, level cap made it impossible... I can do it in a VHF, but a crusader? Glhf dying. That and Tekagi's Base mission; KNF destroyer camps one of the shield generators, like 500m from it. I had to get my entire fighter wing to distract it while I torped it, and got it right on the 10th try.) Seriously, single-player story is broken as all hell, so dropping it won't change much for the worse.

I like your idea a lot, and think we should pursue it. Might also conserve server resources, I think that having 10 players in each of 4 places is a lot easier to handle than 40 players in the same place.
