What is wrong here!?

[Lythrilux]

Corsairs were left alone in the south of Sirius. People abandoned their caps and moved to Liberty. Corsairs died and Omicrons and Omegas without them are empty.

I'm not going to say Liberty is draining away all the activity from the Omicrons, but I will say that I do agree Corsairs have been treated badly.
As a faction itself, there's not a lot for it to do. Mission removal and buffer systems being the final nail in the coffin.
"Why bother pirating as a Corsair, when I can just play any other pirate faction, have a better ZoI, sometimes better tech and a lot more things to pirate/fight?"
"Why bother smuggling as a Corsair, when I can smuggle as something else and make more money via the Outcast smuggling route?".

I have a Corsair BS. Since missions have gone, It's been left to gather dust in conn because there's nothing else for me to do with it. I've noticed that generally, the amount of Corsair dreads on the server has decreased substantially since .87, the amount of people selling legates has also increased.
Screw all this taboo and uncertainty around missions, they generated activity for Corsairs + factions. It was fun to see an Outcast or Hessian walk into Gamma to try and ruin my day, and then see Corsairs running to my aid to push out the invaders.
Any activity is good activity.
