Sombra, NO.

I like you, but you need to stop foisting your views on the community just because you have good graphical design skills to embellish your points. You can't just make these gigaposts in every thread and expect people to concur.


For one thing, that activity sheet is completely, utterly wrong. Second part is "too many solars (para)" is a terrible argument as its solars that make systems interesting and large amounts of them do not harm gameplay.

New York is a crap, boring system. It's absolute crap. Only two field types and three planetary solars. It's only because it's right in the middle of everything anybody gives it the bloody time of day.


As for Rheinland, the large size of the house is helpful because it makes piracy more competetive. System size in systems with lanes is fairly irrelevant anyhow and gives police more to do, as unlawfuls are incentivised to use trade lanes. Frankfurt is a great system because it has one lane - everybody - has to go down, which creates a natural interaction point. It balances that huge scale by having easy-to-get-to Jump Holes for unlawfuls into NB and Dresden and Bremen (Unioners), and Sigmas, Munich (Bundschuh).

Ill De France is the most beautiful, most well thought out system in the mod. Gallia had some of its most beautiful systems removed because a bunch of people who don't even play in the house demanded their removal and it still did nothing for Gallic activity. Berry was damn beautiful, as was Anjou, as was Maine, which retconned a lot of people's RP and threw the entire concept of the first gallic war out of the window.

Look, people have to agree we're never going to concur about this stuff, and just bloody log in instead of demotivating each other with this crap.

What about those of us who just want to play in Gallia? I just want to play in Gallia.
