I'm wondering if the raised distances between Gamma and Alpha have made the raiders go "meh". Or perhaps people are just still trying out the new toys in 4.86 - the Jormugand and such.
Honestly, the distance from Alpha to Gamma more then trippled and due to the new OC dreadmodel being unable to get through even the least dense asteroid field in the game without getting stuck, people simply dont bother.
Also, about the jorm. I think othervise. Jorms were being spammed for a few days/first two weeks then when they realised that it could not hope to solo a legate even if it had more armor (after CAU is applied). So most jorm players dont bother. The Jorm cant win. Its simply not able to keep the distance it needs in the areas that it will face the legate, namely the asteroid fields of the Omegas. It simply cant run away fast enough to survive, add to that the insane bomber spam the sairs deploy to deal with them and their a rather "un-fun" ship to fly.
As for corsair activity. YOU ALL CONTRIBUTED TO IT GOING DOWN. WHO THE HELL IS GONNA LOG THEIR SAIR WHEN THEY KNOW SOME GANK-ARMY IS JUST ITCHING TO KILL YOU THE SECOND YOU UNDOCK FROM CRETE OR ANYWERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER.
The lack of "visible" sairs is the result of outright morons, raiding gamma and the surrounding systems 24/7, making it practically and theoretically impossible to fly a corsair ship without being kill by some "lol! engagbung!!1!!!!!1!!1!!1!!!!one" gunboat flying merc.
And then ontop of that is the fact that most of the corsair stuff DID GET NERFED, and whoever says that it is not a big enough nerf to matter should shut their trap and gtfo.
Corsairs 4.85.3 = / = Corsairs 4.86.3
The difference is only visible to those USED to fly as a corsair. To those of us dedicated enough to jump into a fight were we are most likely going to be outnumbered, with ships thats sub-par compared to our enemies.
