How Would You Handle Discovery?

[Garrett Jax]

This post is not intended to flame current admins or devs. I'm sure they are doing the best job they can. That said, it would take far more than one admin/dev to make the following work:

I would include faction leaders in conversations regarding story development, gaining their input on faction goals.

I would reduce the hour requirement for official factions to remain official and include specific forum RP as a requisite.

I would design ships flown by some official factions ID's to have slightly better efficiency than civilian and borderline ships to induce members to support factions, specifically police and unlawful factions.

I would make one or two remote destination systems extremely profitable for trade routes, but remove ID and server rule restrictions regarding RP before engagement in those systems only.

I would rotate monthly a mining bonus for specific mining factions to increase activity for those factions.

I would create spontaneous events lasting an hour or two where an admin logs on and creates crazy events like short, profitable two system trade routes, or capture the flag type scenarios, or where you beam everyone who wishes to participate from Liberty to remote Nomad systems where the goal is to make it back alive. Or create a one system FFA where it's everyone against everyone and the last pilot standing gets a reward.

I could probably think of more, but I'll get flamed enough for these as it is. Love you guys.
