My opinion on why the game has constantly been losing players

[kerfy]

As a newer player, I found the 2 hr rule to be kinda long, esp when yer a newb and get killed fast when in pvp. The npc's --- would be nice if they were tougher when there isn't lots of players about, I do a fair bit of exploring as I don't want to retart and lose my ship.. . have had wonderful suprises when I run into a mine field I didnt know was there. I don't think it is possible to do much about the npc thing , maybe just make em tougher in some systems and not others ?? I was wondering for quite a while what the deal was with conn a I kept seeing lots of people there. I know now and have been there 2 times, nothing there really .. lol I suspect that the learning curve for RP in this game is what keeps some players away. Me, myself actually had a greattime in and out of RP when i was trying to set up a gunboat only to get pulled over and fined by the military fer an unlicensed ship ( i deleted it and started another properly) I have found the veteran players to be pretty darn helpful. the lack of missles is sad, seems vets want everyone to have exactly the same weapons so they can shine, and feel like pros, like guns only lol. seems they want to be unkillable by anyone not deem "skilled".That is kinda what missles are for I think at least. guess cm don't matter when yah don't know how to use emproperly heh heh. all in all. I started playing back in july.. still here still playing, having a great time. FYI sigmas are still fairly safe to run a transport through... hint hint ..lol
