Now don't go straight for my balls about how this has been brought up in the past and however that ended but in my opinion it's a relevant topic. Simply put, Newcastle is too big. It's one of the most unpopulated core systems in the mod because it's just too huge. And it's a pity really since it has enourmous roleplay and gameplay potential. I'm sure the Outcasts would like to get as involved as they can with Cape Wrath. But when it's about 50k from the closest base or tradelane, plus the fact there are hardly any people in the system who can be bothered to go to Newcastle just makes it too much of an effort. Iverness has alot of potential also as a smuggling/slaving route but the Jump Hole is so far from the Tau jump hole it's simply quicker to go through two more systems for a different route. Theres just so much in Newcastle but it's too sparse for anyone to even bother flying around. IMG, Outcasts, Gaians, Bretonians all packed into one system is quite a tasty salad. The layout of the system is fine, just bring it down a notch!
