Where're the Corsairs?

[nOmnomnOm]

Each mod version the devs add more and more systems between corsairs and outcasts and the said factions have less and less activity.

why not just make a new jump hole linking them closer?

We are still here

But sorry that we dont raid you guys regulary.

maby and some of you know why somany Sairs left, it could have something to do with the old 4 hours interval raids that i am sure some of you guys was part of.
I know that some of my fellow Benitez got fed up with the constant low lvl RP from several OC`s that were camping Gamma, so look into the mirror and look your self in the eyes and ask this question, Was i part of this.

And as it was said Examen time and other things relevant to RL have for Benitez Cut our actually ingame time down, and when we are ingame we go for RP and not mindless PvP just to make some indivudals of this community happy.

Note all written here are my personally meaning.

But it annoys me when people make silly comments about that... especially brits who for the most part can't speak their own language let alone anyone elses!

Putting Lambda between Theta and the Sigmas truly was idiotic. No idea what that was supposed to achieve.
The new bases in Sigma-13 are no help at all, because nobody wants to fight in a system full of explosive gas clouds and zero visibility.

coming from Corsairs thats pretty golden right there. both are as bad as the other, though the devs REALLY need to stop adding systems into the way of perfectly fine routes into around and out of the omicrons.

what the hell are you guys even thinking. actually nevermind, please start thinking from now on.

There they are, on the market and up for grabs. Ever since the Eta-Theta connection was removed, Corsairs lost the will to live and began selling out their goods. Now they're contempt enough to stay rich on Crete enjoying the plenty of Credits they have. That, is why they're not in space.

Well, what to say here. I guess people just lost interest to play as Corsairs. Playing some faction is a complex thing, it includes the interactions with other players, not just cool looking ships or so.

Let's see what Corsairs can do at the moment.

1. Pirate. But there is too much money in the game already and not many people keep running the trade or mining. Cash grinding was a way too easy so the cash flow was too fast and thus the interest to the mining\trading got exhausted too fast as well. Also trader behaviors are cool too (I know it's two edged sword, really). I guess both traders and pirates got annoyed one day by own assholery and just not motivated to bother with piracy when you can simply pew with navy or so. Also I didn't noticed any significant traffic between Bretonia and Rheinland so nothing to catch anyway.

2. Go to the hostile territories to fight\pirate. This includes 3 general directions.

2.1 Bretonia. Well, honestly there was always a lot of mutual OORP dislike between Bretonia and Corsair players and I, myself, one day found I don't want to go to Bretonia because it doesn't pays out. We're playing for fun and I see no fun in Bretonia. Bretonia players managed to fail in providing any sense of healthy gameplay to anyone hostile to their lawful factions so I'm still staying away from there.

2.2 Rheinland. Once upon a time it was a cool place and I spent a lot of time there with many factions. Corsairs, RM, Unioneers, Hessians. It was a nice and friendly place with cool people to play along or to pew with. Now it's just a land of frustration and depression. In short - Bretonia mk 2. I don't even know at what direction I have to send the blame. Just one day it turned from good place to play into the swamp of constant ganks and oorp hates.

2.3 Outcasts. To raid outcasts you need people who likes to fight and raid and you need people who likes to be raided and ready to defend. Both lacks on both sides. At the moment people are too obsessed with RP part of the game forgetting that another half is a pew arcade in space and that results in constant whines about the raids, ganks (because it's RP to gank, y), oorp hates and other bullshit. Also recent changes to the systems are not of a help at all. We were promised that Sigmas will be a "paradise" and alive again like it's 4.84 back. Wow, failed completely. No wonders though. I already expressed my feelings towards the developing methods generally and lack of any gameplay planning and control partly.

Those are the main reasons I think. Really, guys - stop to assume that the core of a problem with activity is some stupid "balance" or "bad ships" or lack of caps in the ship line, or so. It doesn't matter in the end. We log into the game not to observe the pretty ship's butt for a hour or so. We log to play with other people - if there is nothing to do or the said people are dickheads no one would log since there is no fun to catch.

P.S. Also I want to repeat myself a bit, but I want to send a beams of hate towards the people who likes to change the jump hole positions every damn mod version. Stop please, really. This is fucking ridiculous and not freaking funny. It was okay even in vanilla. It wasn't broken. Why you ruin the damn jump hole network. Thanks.

P.P.S. I logged now my old Legionnaire (that old mk 1 sair LF, from vanilla yn. I had one.) And it have a Class 10 missile slot, mines, cd, cm. (bandit) pretty bug, but let's what can be done with that ship (bandit).

P.P.P.S

Forgot the smuggling - but, no thanks to xoria, smuggling is destroyed in this game. So nothing to discuss really.

P.P.P.P.S

Why Cadiz is selling Bretonia's LF (and not only LF) guns? :\
