That system will literally save this place in days.

If you truly believe that, you are seriously delusional.

We have many players with even more unused ships/assets that would love to have something to do, and participate in something that gives the game world a feeling like its alive again, its that feeling that brings people back to logging in to find a battle, or trade to supply funds to buy ships or stuff for your chosen side.

If someone... anyone... really enjoyed what you describe, all they have to do is build a pob where it's bound to get sieged. Fact is, people like building stuff, but they absolutely hate having to defend it. If they now have to constantly defend literally everything in the game unless they want to see their focal points destroyed by the bunch of trolls and bullies that everyone knows we have, they are definitely not going to love it.

Everyone I know who loves the game but doesn't really play it (and that includes myself) is not short of "things to do". We have lots of ideas, projects, ambitions, and willingness to invest work.

The Nr 1 reason why we don't log and/or work on it (or continue the considerable work we already invested) is that we know with 100% certainty that it's going to be blocked (or is already blocked for years) / stomped by some little twat in some position of pixelpower like OF, government, staff, or "comfortable with the the latter" for no other reason than we'd be stepping on "their turf". Be it creating open-for all multi-purpose immersive POBs, noob-friendly factions, simply going on space adventures with random people you meet (omg you cant go there with that faction even though your ID permits it! you have to join X faction for that!), creating an actual strategy for improving system/JH layout, making the rules halfway comprehensible for new people, putting rules and lore and explanations of game mechanics ingame. Everything is "someone's turf" and if you're doing something that challenges their authority/dominance on it, they make sure you won't get anywhere with it.

And in regards to my Challenge System idea, the day someone can find a real reason not to go with that or something like it, I'll have nothing more to say.

Many people have given you the reason many times:

Sieges suck. Especially for the defender. Losing their stuff in sieges is one of the main reasons why people leave this game. People don't want to have to defend their favorite things in the game 24/7 and organize their professional and private lives around being able to log to defend it.

Why staff isn't able to tell you that simple reason, and can't come up with anything better than "make your own server/mod and if players don't migrate from our busy server to your new empty server that proves your idea is wrong", which is a cop-out that can be applied to literally everything, you'll have to ask them.

Yet months and years go on, so much time to turn things around here, and no action at all in regards to fixing the population decline.

That is indeed frustrating. But seriously, you're not helping by continuing to push this 1 thing almost nobody agrees with. There are 20 other things that could make the game better for everyone with 0 negative contra points for anybody (for example an actually fun noob progression that teaches lore, rules, and game mechanics, better guidelines for OF and government behavior, better armor upgrade + gear progression. I know staff tried with the last armor upgrade revamp. But make an UA with 0 cargo that costs literally nothing? just... wtf... do you evne think before you do stuff?), which aren't being done either.
