Omicrons systems layout re-work.

[Echo 7-7]

It may have been a nice system, but the bases there didn't make a lot of sense.

Where were you when omega-15 was introduced?
Telling everyone how much sense and in-lore depth are in HF systems, bases and caps?
Your opinion isn't perfect.

So, just... take a look at the thread I linked there.
Might give you an idea of today's community needs, based on gaming experience rather than theoretical thoughts.

Edit:
I'll link it once again.
Remove Omicron-81 (And buffer systems in general)

I wasn't a Dev when it was introduced, so I'm not responsible for its design; neither was I responsible for the design of Omega-9. Criticising my support of Hellfire Legion content is irrelevant and amounts to ad hominem, as it has nothing to do with the Omicrons. It's also misguided, too, as I was responsible for toning down some of Vespucci's slightly over-blown infocards for v4.87.

An opinion, by definition, cannot itself be perfect, so essentially you're saying that my proposal is not to your liking. I have not claimed that I have the perfect solution - I'm just offering something that I believe is better than the present situation.

Echo please tak into consideration my suggestion regarding the numerous buffer systems that are reduntant. It's in the thread Lynth made. The suggestion is: Add all the systems you want to delete and move them to the omicrons. Make them all deep nomad space linked to Iota or 99 with a high level NPCs and strange bases. Let Treewyrm experiment there.

Interesting, but it's not a good idea in the long term. This would simply shift the issue of excess unpopulated systems to a different region. If systems can be properly deleted, then we may as well do just that. Besides, I think Treewyrm has enough "raw material" to spice up the current Nomad Omicrons by recycling existing systems and bases.

Connect O81 to Lorraine and not O80.

In my mind, these two systems are somewhat interchangable in gameplay terms*, as (to my knowledge) neither of them have any special history inrp or otherwise. So, are you suggesting that Lorraine connects to 81 specifically to reduce the number of jumps between Lorraine and Alpha / Tau-37, or for some other reason?

*they could switch positions or have systems connections adjusted slightly without causing a major catastrophe
