The correct RP for Sothis is thus:
Code are a pirate organization, it lives off pirating players. The other night I hung around the 2 CGs, and guess what? there are practically zero people doing the CGs now, everyone and his dog are at Sothis.
What is so wrong with Sothis from a pirating point of view? you have lots of traffic going in empty and leaving to scattered systems, it is almost impossible to pirate. With that said, Code is helping Elite Dangerous return to normality, we are encouraging people back to the CGs, their rare runs, their trade routes.
What is so wrong with Sothis from an overall ED point of view? when you could have a player who starts in the morning in a sidewider, and 8 hours later is flying a conda, something is very very wrong.
The Code will add balance, yes some will get through the blockade, some will boast how they live in Solo, that is not the point. There is an active blockade and ships are being removed as fast as we can (who disregard the blockade notice), last night it was around 30 ships.
I´m not the first to tell you that your skills in telling a coherent story could not be worse.
What does "lives off pirating people" mean? You take this few tons of cargo in sothis? I guess not.
Also you complain that the bubble is empty, no1 is into the community goals, which is just untrue. A friendly commander taking part in the Achenar CG told me exactly the opposite, just yesterday evening. I don´t know about the other CGs, as theres pretty many of them right now.
And if you watch the numbers closely, how many ships passed through Sothis last 24h, then try to think about it just a little, you will see that there are not so many unique cmdrs at all, I would guess we are about 300 to 500 people in total. Idk if the Open/Solo exploit counts to that too. But even if not, there should be more than enough Cmdrs left over in the rest of the galaxy.
Now take the number of Cmdrs and multiply it with the average load (i guess about 50 tons) and you will see its very very little stuff in total, so no fear to destroy any economy.
I think FD should tweak those missions too, maybe just give you more tons to transport for a high payout mission, so stacking is not an issue anymore. Apart from that these missions are great fun to do, you just have to stay awake and focused (sure, FD can improve some stuff like NPCs tracking you down). And the payout is ok too, because it´s just another way of making this amount of money. Like bountyhunting for ALD, trading in a type 9 and since 1.4 even mining.
So for me FD put this in the perfectly right direction. And I don´t feel it´s your right or you have that special position as "Code" to tell them what should and what should not be in the game, just to fit your style of play.
It´s not up to you to "add balance" and I´m thankful for that.
Looking at how you act ingame I can see no RP anymore, apart from some shortcut messages. You just want a fight. Which is very ok for me. But you could maybe find a better way to organise your hooligan-tours, haven´t you had a combat thing on the betaservers? I can imagine it was a good thing to actually have someone that wants a fight with you.
Let´s be honest, the only Cmdrs you killed were either the ones tried to win against a proper battleship, or the ones who didn´t learn how to escape from interdiction. To sum it up, it must have been pretty unexperienced pilots, so not that big of a challange.
Nothing to be especially proud of. So get better, please.
