Not having allies to play with can't be the issue, as already said - there are Xenos and your even more hated hisbanic brethren, both with many players.
What you need is to do stuff yourself, aka close the bounty board down so some sair pewers return to be outcasts instead of mercs.
And make less friends(yes i said it!):
how about you try what happens when you flex your muscles a bit and try to see what happens if you cut off the cardi supply here and there...THAT will stir up some great rp opportunities for diplomancy (more then pewpew maybe)...try puppeteering your cardi addicted lowlife "allies" int eh houses...teach them who is the boss and needs more admiration and so on...be evil, step on toes and be the supermobsters of sirius!
' Wrote:That's not the problem. The problem is that the OCs have a lack of active players and allies. Almost everyone is hostile to outcasts. Entire gallia is hostile to the outcasts, it's pretty hard to do some stuff there under this circumstances.
Ever tried to play a corsair? Same thing, just worse. Yet it doesn't stop corsairs to be active. Anyway this hated by everyone - feared by most (inrp) adds quite a uniq flavour to the role.
Want to make faction alive? - go for powerplay. F' up someones faction game. Make them rage over forums. Use other player hate against particular group to fuel your own faction. It will work and most people who don't care about drama and see it as just a game will have tons of fun. And activity will sky rocket. Sair - Zoner conflict is just an example.

I'm pretty sure the Corsairs have a lot of active members...
@kakashi: please, PLEASE stop talking about the OC tech nerf, its incredibly annoying. OC tech is FINE, okay?
F-I-N-E. 'sair tech got nerfed as well, big deal.
the sabre is still an extremely strong ship, the krakens are still one of the best particle guns out there.
also, if everyone stopped playing because the tech got nerf, that really says a lot about your playerbase.

However that's the main reason :lol: Many used OC because of Kraken Sabres being very OP and even an idiot could give up a nice performance, but once it got nerfed a bit it become a regular equipment. People have abandoned them in order to find something more OP.
