Official Activity Q4 2025

[Major.]

Get a group of people together, then play the game.

Or, play by yourself and take it as it comes.

The key part here is to play the game.

It really is that simple.

While this statement is true, it's only true for newish and medium-timepart members.

As someone who is here for a good amount of time (same as you), the issue becomes, what am I even supposed to do? I roleplayed, I Pve'ed, I PvP'ed etc. I did everything the game/mod has to offer. At some point, the only thing that this mod provides, is the RP. And sadly the quality dropped significantly. (Sure, as someone who did minimal RP for a while just to get his PvP, I might have been part of the problem.) The forum RP is still good, you have your meme and low quality posts from time to time, but overall the forum RP is still high. The ingame RP on the other hand is utterly trash.

"Just log in" is a mentality that has been lost, and would drive a lot of things that people think can't exist anymore.

We can point at things staff did wrong, devs did wrong and players did wrong and we all have a part to play for sure. I just don't enjoy the same points being regurgitated as a retort to being told the direct and demonstrable contrary. OFs are the main topic of staff discussion at the moment, we very much do want to revitalise them in some way. We agree that the current system doesn't work, and doesn't incentivize their existence.

Not blaming the devs/staff here; you are doing a good job, even though some stuff is slow.

But, even if I log in, and play my IMG in Tau-23, the number of encounters is sometimes 0. I switch to a Liberty Navy char, have low RP traders, or people who are just actively avoiding you because they know you are a lawful dude.

We had these people in the past, but out of the 200, only like 20 people did these. You could just ignore them and move on to a way better activity / RP.

Now you don't really have that anymore, because the amount of players is low, and the low balling RP is high. Even I have to sometimes chase people, because I know who is roughly behind that char, to get some quality RP. And saying that from me, should be a thing.

I miss the 200/200 times, with utterly garbage balance, OP stuff, broken stuff and server lag of doom. But only because of the amount of players.
