Is Sirius too big?

[Vredes]

A lot of factions dont have enought players like:
Bounty Hunters Guild are getting replaced by freelancers and mercs. Remove the Merc ID and remove the "Can fulfill bounty contract" part from the Freelancer ID.
Bundschuh(Ex-Rheinland Scientists looking to ovethrow the goverment etc.), Unioners(Ex-Shippers) and LWB(Ex-Farmers) why not combine them with the Red Hessians(Ex-Miners) that have a decent member count. They fight for the same cause and are all part of the Rheinland Revolution Army on my opinion. Same for the Gallic Unlawfuls. Remove the Pirate ID(there is no such thing as an Independent Pirate)
80% of the shipping companies for the same reason as the Rheinland revolutional factions. Combine the house shippers/miners to 1-2 shipping/mining company per House.

RP is dying fast because you can play 1-2 days without encountering anyone(except for the NPCs). The reason is the same as the topic name...Too many star systems. Just cut some of the guard systems(mabye all) or just make 1-2 guard systems per House one for the Military forces and the other could be for pirates/terrorists(I liked this idea from one of the previous posts). I noticed there are 2-3 almost empty Omicron, Omega and even Tau systems. Cut half the systems from Gallia, there are a lot of unnecessary systems(mabye remove the whole gallic house).

That is all for now. Sorry for my bad English.
