I'm bored. I've seen everything. There's nothing new to discover. Hell, even the edge worlds don't feel like far-away places anymore.
YES. The deep omicrons don't feel so deep after playing a couple years. WE NEED MORE *coughs* and making it easier to build bases out in those places would be good too, so players could actually go and try to settle them, establish outlying outposts, etc.
The trouble is that you have a handful of people, 2 factions in particular, who cannot resist the urge to demonize unknown bases and to swindle them out.
Whatever is your stance on the omicrons, the factions that are currently present there render the place useless and time-wasting. When you replace them with people that are open-minded and friendly in nature, well then you'll see people rush there. People build bases in civilized places because even if theres one faction that may dislike you, theres alteast twice more that may be friendly with you. In the omicrons as you may have noticed, it doesn't work like that, mainly because the factions there are driven by irrational hate towards anyone who doesn't submit to their will. I just wish the nomads could finish the job and then no one will be able to police anyone, and then omicrons would be intrested to invest and fly to. I have voted for a change in the omicrons, not surender - and especaily surender to dead factions whos reputation couldn't possibly be any lower.
That's just how territorialism works. It's not because people are bastards. Every species does this. The only way to stop it is to make sure you become stronger than the others so you can set the rules.
