If going unofficial or attempting to meet some kind of activity requirement are weighing heavily on your mind and detracting from your own enjoyment of the game, it's my understanding that since this http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread...pid1678476 thread, XA- has already been on the hardship program, meaning that basically the activity tracker relating to them might as well not exist, as admins have somewhat indicated that making the Xenos an active faction is difficult and that XA- is doing a fine job as they are.
Just to make sure that if you do decide to pull the plug you make an informed decision, keep in mind the server has only been back up for not very long and combined with fallout 4 drawing everyone elses attention, low activity / enthusiasm is understandable. Check out your steam friends list if you dont believe me.
I appreciate the intent behind this. I had spent alot of time beginning to rebuild things over the past few months, even beginning to reverse our trend of inactivity, however due to unforeseen circumstances the RL friends I had managed to get interested lost their forum accounts in the rollback and abruptly told me that they would not be returning here, which was a bit of a kick in the teeth. I still think it is better for the faction to go out like this rather than struggle on and delineate from what most of the vets here would remember XA being. I think though, from time to time, you will still see an XA ship here and there. There will be some out there that still have tagged ships and nostalgia will get to them eventually.
Also, and this will surely make some people laugh, Oyster Creek (which I guarded so carefully) is up for deconstruction/siege. The honest truth is that POB made me more or less flat broke, and even though Premium Scrap was nicely buffed for Xenos, I still struggled to break even. Having this POB gone will allow me to have a clean break and start fresh. I am open for ideas or invitations as to where I could look for my next roleplay.
