Outcasts have literally been turned into outcasts as far as system placement goes. All these buffer systems are unnecessary and I will never understand what was going through the devs minds in that regard.
IMG/CR don't log in big numbers anymore, GMG are inactive, Kusari on the whole is pretty dead, they don't shoot nomads, BHG disbanded, Gallic lawfuls barely exist, Corsairs are also barely existent and going to Liberty to cause trouble is just tiresome.
Then of course 101st are dead with no real leadership, CL} disbanded and so it's literally just a few indies that are around. There are no odds working in favour of the OC's anymore.
I considered trying to bring CL} back together but eh, with so little to do it's difficult.

Divine was doing the outcast development, first only for the 101st, but after the CL disbanded the 101st development meant the outcast development aswell. You can check it in the 101st faction status.
Sadly, he is banned, so everything stopped and the outcasts are currently without a sane and strong leader.
In 85, OCs were active because of OP saber, OP Ranceur, OP missions in Alpha, Eta, Omicron 80, CR and IMG large raids which included caps, Massive Corsair raids which included fighters.
Buffer systems ruined everything. The evidence is there that they should be removed.
It's like throwing nuts in the face of someone who has nut allergies. They're obviously in discomfort and you should probably stop throwing nuts at them, however you ignore their pleas for you to stop and you continue to make their allergy worse.

Implying Divine was a sane and strong leader.
The Outcasts have no standards at the moment, barreling Ranseurs into Liberty is not Outcast RP and I hate seeing it but...nothing we can do for the time being.
The 101st should find someone from within or, if that is impossible, without their ranks willing to continue the until-now well-done 101st story and continue representing the Outcasts. It's simply sad that this ooRP problem prevent things that were iRP supposed to happen. It shouldn't stay like that.

I think yes the outcasts have declined VERY VERY much no matter whatever people say,outcasts have declined in numbers compared to previous years.I remember last year and before you were able to find atleast 2 or more both official or indie players online everytime if not in alpha then in taus also in liberty there were more Outi snubs roaming then compared to hackers or rogues with mean krakens mounted.man outcasts were biggest faction used players.everyone one of us had at least 1 outcast character.
I think people lost interest in outcasts for following reasons:
1. The distance between Alpha and Taus and Alpha and Eta have been messed up badly by ADMINS(no offense but this is TRUE ask anyone here ).I remember there were Raids by IMG into Alpha they bringing their battlecruisers and had opportunity to use their caps against Outi caps and Eta was a bloody war ground,it was awsome man to be in eta.There were Caps vs Caps everywhere in Eta.legates vs Ranseurs,Osiris vs Sarissa.Eta was mainly a Cap ground I rarely saw snubs there because it was even difficult to stay alive there in a snub because even NPC's were so bad ass there.Also there were large corsair raids into Alpha and Vice Versa.
So people now hate cruising 80-100k from 1 end of a system to other end just for some pvp.
2. Previously Corsairs bothered about Outcasts and they even had a fear of them but now all corsairs care about is Hessians and RHEINLAND.They dont even look at Outcasts and eta anymore.
3.Krakens and other Outcast weaponry have been messed really bad by Admins.I miss my orangish krakens mk2 on my sabre
4. People think that these new outcast Snubs are soooo Big and lousy so they dont fly outcast snubs at all and go for bw ships.But let me tell you people dont go on their looks these new outi snubs kick bumps as good as bw ship or I must say they kick much better then any bw ship.
Im flying Outcast snubs both in Taus and Liberty so please people whoever is flying as an outcast these days contact me on skype we can show these people that outcasts can NEVER die.
One advice for Corsairs.PLEASE concentrate on Outcasts as well dont be noobs and look only for hessians and coalition for some pews.We outis are waiting for you in Eta eagerly se you guys soon
One advice for my fellow Outcast Capital Ship Captains.Please Please dont go to liberty with your ships.You are not welcomed there by anyone even not by rogues so dont make fool of yourself and Outcasts.Concentrate more on Corsairs in eta and even in Gamma.We can even organise Raids into Gamma to show these Corsairs who's the Boss in Omicrons.
