I honestly don't see what people are complaining about! The only lag I ever get from PoBs is when I open the equipment shop and there's like, 83 items in it.
The lag he's probably referring to is when somewhere in one of the 85 corners of Sirius when a base is getting sieged and causing a lag due to the firepower needed to be assembled for such an undertaking. It happens even when there's no bases and the rare moment comes up resulting in a massive furball in a single system. Too many caps will do this most often but 20 bombers letting off SNACs at a single target at one time will also do it. I've had my turtle nailed by so much firepower it warped spacetime and I find myself staring at a frozen monitor during the Kurile Krisis.

Somehow I think the full server wipe that would be needed would kill the server faster than 4.87 will.
actually if the admins did it properly nobody would even lose much, they would be able to give players that asked their equivalent worth now, back after the wipe.
so youd simply just have to go and buy your stuff again, dont think that would kill the server any less gloriously than you devs are doing slowly but surely with your 'balance' and infinate wisdom, holy balls.

That's not what I meant. Changes to ID, systems, and bases brought about by 4.87 made my faction enjoyable again. Beforehand the Bundschuh were literally Hessians that couldn't use caps or fight in the Omegas.
I'm not denying that the administration/devs have made some poor decisions, but I am most certainly not letting go of the stuff my favorite faction has earned through the updates.

I think you fail to realise the reason your faction gets permenantly ignored is because Gallia is taking all of the devs time away from literally dozens of vanilla factions that could use the love instead.
sure you may have gotten a few tiny cumbs of the big cake and ran with it making you a little happy. but imagine there wasnt a fat lump at the dinner table called "wasted time" with a gallia t-shirt on eating all the cake so you were actually allowed some of it.
ALL other factions non-gallic related would simply be better off without the existence of gallia, FACT. devs might actually have put in time to figure out how to make Kusari somewhere people genuinely want to play, how to fix the sigmas again for the same reason.
God there are just so many other things that could be fixed if everything wasnt being focused on Gallia
Well, although there would be some tedious work involving ship files (err well lots of tedious work), I don't think a complete wipe or roll back is needed to remove Gallia. While only one admin can use the desk at a given moment I do believe a temporary staff of members with in-game admin commands can work at helping clear out all the player ships in Gallia before the deletions. This would require a lot of communication to the community as well but even the most obscure rarely used playership can be found and moved out.....ever so tediously.

And the solution to this is to rewind back to 4.85, where Gallia was smaller and my faction's Guard Station had the description of a Rheinland Military Battleship, and had one of the weakest IDs out of any other faction?
I do believe that Gallia need a massive amount of reform to figure a way to make it at least populated with frequent unofficial members of factions. Completely removing it is just out of the question for me. Maybe I don't like the effort that goes into Liberty, why can't its own existence be wiped clean? It'd give other factions more attention.
