I've noticed a lot of Official Factions complaining about lack of activity in Rhineland, I would like to suggest that the current Server Boosted Route (Delegates and Political Refugees) end and a new route be created that is implicitly across Rheinland (also something for Kusari but sorry I personally don't go there)
I was thinking something from Sigma 15 <---> Omega 11 and preferably contraband to help out the RM/RFP

What are you talking about, I can't remember the last time Rheinland was so full of traders. It's mostly because of the buffed route but also 'cause of rheinland having plenty of ores to ship out, and factions like Img passing through rheinland very often with their convoys.
I guess you were misleaded by note in RHA´s FSR. However, it is actually not accurate.

This is all of what rheinland gave RHA in a month which is pretty sad. Pewpewing RM, oh wait there is no RM. Is your faction experiencing problems the community could help with? Rheinland is dead, I need a big RM player base now to shoot. Seriously, I hate waiting in omega-5 for 80 centurions to show up and gank the 3 RHA online. RM is dead, RFP is barely alive, Rheinland needs to be like a good house. Is there anything you would like to add? Make Rheinland a good house again with players.
Faction / last month / last three months
[RM - Rheinland Military 3d, 10:25:27 / 11d, 03:40:47
BDM| - Büro Der Marineintelligenz 2d, 14:36:43 / 7d, 17:03:16
RFP| - Rheinland Federal Police 1d, 12:25:42 / 4d, 10:51:48
So, "dead RM" is actually most active faction recently and "barely alive" RFP has its best activity numbers in several months (sorry, we never generated huge amounts of logged time and also majority of our members are not clearly pvp oriented so they don´t log purely to shoot RHA when they see you online). Activity should not be judged by number of blues, you know...
Generally, while the activity could be of course better (but hey, all houses except Liberty can say that), there were time periods when it was way worse. Of course everyone welcome anything to support more activity in Rheinland, but running around and screaming "Rheinland is dead" is not appropriate description of current state and may actually discourage some players from playing in it and may be counterproductive.
Also, I´m not sure if there can be much better contraband route than political refugees, considering it goes all the way through four systems.

Just focusing on these two, yeah RHA was the main reason I made the thread but also I'm hearing, complaints aren't the right word, but frustration at the lack of interaction within Rhineland. And true it may be a time zone issue but right now I'm working a swing shift and I've been online at all hours and still Rhineland seems inactive, to me at least
Regarding the Political Refugees, they are only illegal in two systems, once you reach Hudson/Bering your pretty much in the clear, with changes to the Jump Hole network its possible also to cross hamburg and get no closer than 10k to the nearest lane. this is in contrast to other "smuggling" routes that require crossing 1 or several set of lanes.
Cool, so some threads from 2013 shows that the problem hasn't been handled in 3 years, thanks for supporting me in my want for a change to the current server boosted route to cross more than 2 systems of Rhineland
