This and Lemon's points about the economy and capital ship combat are the prime reasons why I have heard from fellow faction members they do not log anymore. They log in, see that their ships handle like molasses, have no powercore and all the rest of the many criticisms about 5.0 combat, log off and try to trade and find that there are like 2 viable routes (gold iridum, light arms, etc). They do these ad nauseum, get bored and then they log pirates, find that nobody is trading because of the aforementioned reasons, and then log off to play another game.
Trying to force activity with Korean MMO grind-esque Earhart commodities for weapons that are marginally better than base weapons will not work, I'm afraid.
5.0 needed more time in the oven, to say the very least.
