Teaching, all that stuff is done in conn.
I don't know if that could be done only in Conn. Again, might be Old on the server but in the past, we used to RP simulated encounters for training near home bases, or better yet, military bases. Part of the fun was also to fly around in a Starflier going to take a double bribe and do missions to get the ID, meanwhile getting a big helo from a traveller. Again, armour and ammo transfers were done outside Conn, like literally for everything (maybe the players had more integrity and didn't try to Rp or oorp a theft of goods?).
Again about the teaching can be done anywhere, not only Conn.
Now, all of that is easier to be done in Conn, yes, true, but as someone else said, while everyone else is in Conn, the rest of the server gets no population, we get emptier systems and empty systems brings fewer interactions, fewer interactions (good or bad) may make someone getting bored (someone who wanted to come and live the inrp environment).
Yet removing the system which been part of other people lives for so long don't know if will do any good now. Is like teaching an old dog new tricks...
