Maybe the OFL-Leaders should work on rewarding their people's ingame activity a bit. Core could use a high-score board for Marduk-hunting. I know for fact that some NL PoBs are a bit desperate about their BS-remain supply since Core doesn't do that anymore really.
Core does have a sort of missions and rewards board. Maybe it can see a return once we get some cash.
As expressed in the OP factions really are under-rewarded for contributing to the mod, and as such it leads to great demotivation in both the leaders and members. I seriously think we need a sort of system that acknowledges and rewards people for their hard work. I always felt the FSR system had the foundations to be a platform that recognized legitimate player and leader talent, although it was greatly underutilised and ended up highlighting the inefficiency of the request system more than anything.
I think generally speaking in this community, both in and out of factions, the efforts and hard work is players is underappreciated. This creates a loss of interest, and players who like their effort is meaningless ultimately leave.
Okay, judging by opinions here my current ideas are looking at a way to create short-term, activity-centric things to do in the Omicrons, before eventually settling in to something more long term for the players to get involved with. Before my ban I had worked on a massive list of story content and the like to do, and I have been talking to @Foxglove in regards to some of the more Nomad related things on that list 8)
I think then perhaps closing the lid on, or at least giving a temporary conclusion to, the Freeport 11 / Delta drama stuff in the near future would be good. IIRC Spazzy said there was going to be an event or something related to those Zoner Battleship plats at the FP11 (are those still there?). Something in regards to destroying those could be worthwhile looking into. Who are the Zoner reps? I would be interested in getting in contact with them.
And then once that's done we could look into creating long term story arcs of some sort to help maintain interest.
