Social Survey: Why people are loosing interest to Discovery?

[Deluxe]

I do not play that long here, but was on two other pretty succesfull servers for a very long time which died - fought for them till the end-
In my opinion Discovery need the following change without a doubt:
Drastical! reducing the Systemnumbers, the Map is made at least for 150+ players, at best here are around 60, mostly 50 at prime time. Same goes for variety of IDs (not every House needs every kind of ID. Playerinteractions are the mainsource of fun in the game.
It need probbaly that:
It is just a impression and Im not expierenced enough here to say it for sure: Kick offical factions if they are inactive lol
actually I dont see a single faction I would recomment active. Phoenix maby suits the definition of active a little, but not a single other faction has 10d playtime last month, thats means not even 10 Members with one day playtime per month --Without saying how to react to that, as I said for that I am not enough into your Serverdynamics. But what I say is, I wanted to join a faction (unlawful) and there wasnt a single I would consider somwhere near to active enough. (flying alone I can do as indie also, without extra rules by factions lol)
And playing in clans /here factions is the main reason for long time motivation in this game!


Personally I would play much more here (and I talked to many players doing PvP, agreeing with me) if the pvp-mechanics for fighters work more vanilla. missels/Torps in fights should work the same (maby with higher Damage) than in vanilla -> It is much more entertaining due to more skill needed for that (how to CD missels/torps, avoid getting hit and hit with your missels/torps at the same time while cycling, and trying getting behind your opponent with it ist just way superior to the pvp mechanics here.) Your Substitution of that mechanics with the mines is maby working, but a huge downgrade of the whole gamemechanics as intended in FL. Only reason I can imagine why you did that, is cause you survive longer, whats suits the rp-dead if you get killed more, but that is a lame excuse for not getting into how mechanics should work. lol

The here often called "toxic" community I dont see, but I am used to a rouge tone, I actually like that kinda. Funfact: It is based on the small community cause you always fighting the same guys over and over again, just ignore them if they get salty.

Just my thoughts feel free to answer to that - always like to hear other opinions
