This is something that needs only a simple explanation. Things change... example.
Apple computers, cheap systems that come with the necessities needed for every day computing and tasks, including a great warranty system for their customers... Boy, its been a long time since the launch of the first Macintosh.
Expensive Systems, lots of fancy bits like 5k retina displays that do a hell of a lot more than your average computer systems and Apple-care warranty that shafts its customers up the backside. Maybe thats why most people in this world now use Windows PC's... Its not for everyone to stick on one brand because its not for their tastes and every day uses.
The players are no way exempted from this example, just because your "vets" had one way of playing the game, doesn't mean that everyone else needs to follow suit. And to keep this player base active? Some things have to change. Maybe the go with or against your tastes.
Yeah, that is what I was explaining and how we should adapt with it and move on.
I also said how it is alright in case of Amalfi Directorate to be what they are, to be a faction that has no primary goal to not be PVP oriented group, and defend Outcast space whenever needed.
That is because, Outcasts or Corsairs, are mini houses and they have various aspects of societies. There's nothing wrong with a family being oriented on a trade and smuggle, they of course have some dose of security wings, like any cartel.
However without this, exact, militaristic faction, Outcasts are doomed. They need a faction like this.
