Gallia

[looqas]

So, I've been really wondering how the Gallia turned out to be.

Personally I've made one whole trip there checking out all the systems with my trader a while back. And was in OORP doing so.

But the striking part is the whole Gallia feels like an expansion pack. A dedicated, albeit rather silent, following but lacking the great number of players. I've been watching the Gallic systems via chat window and it's mostly la handful of people there.

I understand the rationale behind making almost all Gallic factions hostile to the regular player and vice versa, but for me it's not working. Rather it ensures I keep away from there.

I somehow find Gallia to hold interest to me. The bomber patrols, the commodities etc. There's so much to explore, but really the biggest issue is that just being there means I'm OORP even in neutral trader. To me business is business. I wish we could change it a bit. Stage a coup. Open up the borders for people to wander in.

The second issue I have with Gallia is that it really is far away. I wish we could "find" more jump hole leading there. A little bit closer to the core too.

As it is Gallia remains an add-on for me because of these things I've mentioned. Personally I think it's a good addition and nice layout, but I'm disappointed how it turned out to be in lacking the players and not being able to pay a visit.

Those are my thoughts. What are yours?
