@Lythrilux thanks for the info. Do you perhaps know why the devs went the NPC route on an RP focused server ? I mean RP-in using NPCs as dumb as Freelancer's is really somewhat limited.
@Binski your take is interesting, but multiboxing would just promote more single-player like gameplay. Spawn point carriers or beam to carriers would promote teamwork (alright they could actually worsen "ganking" but only until every lawful suddenly realizes those useless caps that like to idle around various lawful bases can be used as convenient teleport portals to where the action currently is). Or the Bustard could be used as a cool mobile base of operations for escorts.
I feel this could actually impact the "perceived" server pop to be much higher than it currently is. Just needs to have a right price so it's harder to abuse.
I wouldn't go for deletion of docking modules but a split to the Heavy ones that can act as snub beacons and regular ones that stay as they are I feel could work.
