Is Sirius too big?

To be honest I wouldn't just say its official factions. The amount of LN secondary fleet ships has dropped though the floor. Theres never more than 3 caps and I seem to be the only snub flying the LN- banner these days.

Way I see things, lots of people just kind of want to drift around and shoot at things lazily. That's why there are so many freelancer/bounty hunters/pirates just sitting around Liberty.

The devs/admins made a huge mistake bringing in Freelancer/Pirate IDs. Everyone go's to them now so they can use any ship/any weapon follow no RP at all except PvP/Pirate anything they want. There is no RP behind these IDs so players have no RP to follow.
This is why no one is going faction Indie or Official. It is to easy to get freelancer/pirate ID and just do what ever the hell you want with no penalties. Seriously look around. I bet more then 50% of all ships you see have these 2 IDs. So they have no ZOI, and will just all flock to where ever they see numbers, then more see these, and they flock to that location. Then so on and so on until every one is in a few systems only.
Take away the freelancer/Pirate IDs that way people have to pick a group be it lawful/unlawful/trader what ever. So atleast you have more groups spread out over the main systems.
Now i know many think i am anti faction because i dislike 50% of them in Disco, and speak my mind on it. But i do not. I am in a few that i will not mention. I may not like some, but atleast they get people to play together and work together in the main systems.
What do truely hate is the freelancers, and Pirates that change IFF/ideas/alignment/ships/ whatever on a daily basis without supporting any 1 group or cause. These 2 IDs are just to open, and too easy to abuse. They imply working alone, and that is killing the server.
