Well, just to point out that that is a blatant, yet weird lie posted for reasons one might only guess - i can only say that stuff like this and the mentioned "i hate sairs" miiiight be part of the problem...right?
Badmouthing for strange reasons is not making this a happier place, you guys have to realize that if you want to see sairs flying around and playing with YOU - you should treat those players like you would want to be treated yourself.( As if the Benitez had anything to do with the base you hint at or if it was the first base to protect a system, a home system at that - forcing you to fly less then 30 sec more...)
Other than that- why are so few sairs around?
- There is little to no influx of completely new players( or new sair players) and i am sure the sairs don't get "their share" because let's face it the looks aren't that good in comparison to the new flashy stuff( i believe that does count especially for new players) and the gear is not exactly easy to learn.
-for those who dug a bit deeper might find that the whole artifact stuff is no "hip" enough when they could do drugs &slaves instead
-for those interested in rp and lore development you might find that the sairs have been simply ignored be it for their input and wishes as well as how things turned out....so there is about 0 trust out there that if you roll a sair you can actually "do" things that seems so easily doable for others
-of course, being ridiculed when you voice sorrows of people does not help ( who wants to join the group the cool kids make fun of?)
-and for all of those who are not interested into newbie recruiting, tech, rp and disco politics --- this damned lambda system ?!?!?!? How could one ever dream of getting action to the sigmas by that? or by keeping sigma 13 so tiny that piracy is only doable with the fools or those overly generous and well meaning traders?
