My opinion on why the game has constantly been losing players

[Sanctions]

But that RP based mostly on conflicts, do you remember? And Vanilla Freelancer was 99% PvP-based.
Why expecting peaceful problem solving while playing as military? You have more factions that imply more harmless game style, why not going for it.

Did I say you have to join military factions? No I didn't. I don't know if you played Vanilla, but from my experience I can say that pvp only made 60% of the gameplay. There were always people who played a more economy playstyle.

And grinding credits in vanilla was pure autism as there was nothing you could spend them on.
