Concern about relatively low online player count

[bormos3]

I think the main issue is advertising. Always has been.
How many people with a decent grasp of English, interested in roleplaying and the sci-fi setting, and willing to play a pretty outdated game that fits those criteria are there in the world? Tens, maybe hundreds of thousands surely.

There's no really easy way to reach those people I guess, but that's what would really be needed.
And as for the declining community we already have: a proper update, that advances the storyline and doesn't break a ton of things, and addresses issues that have embarrassingly persisted for years now (terribly balanced ships, mining, etc.)

This

It would most efficiently solve the low player population, I am certain ))))

And yeah....It'll be hard to advertise this game...if only Microsoft allowed the mods to change the source code, which would open countless new possibilities and allow them to advertise the game on more active parts of the internet
