Yeah, I'l probably create some new characters outside (when I've got the time and money).
BUT....
In terms of RP, New York is supposed to be the most populated system in all of Sirius (with at least a population of 300 million in Planet Manhattan alone). Sure, its population consists of lolwutters, but its also the trade center of all of Sirius. And there are countless factions that are based in New York, including LPI, *USI*, Rogues, and a whole bunch of other dudes. Simply telling them to go away won't work. Besides, RP-wise, its also the system with the most action (as in pirating) going on, and why? Because its the trade center of Sirius, thus it makes sense there are so many pirates around there.
