Where Is Everybody?

The Gandii community goal last week was great because so many players where in the same conflict zone. A big improvement to the game would be if there were more ways of concentrating players in fewer places like that.


Some ideas:

- There could be an "interesting places to go" list in the launcher, mentioning a couple of conflict zones and Resource Extraction Sites.

- There could be a penalty of 5-10% of mission payouts when in solo play. Controversial I'm sure, but the game is so empty that it's not really dangerous to be in open right now.

- The weekly conflict report could highlight a system or two in conflict, to draw people there.


I could go on, but the point is, very simple changes like this could make a big difference.

There are CGs every week and they usually bring the same number of people, unless it's a really tedious one.

CGs, Alien ruins, Engineer bases, the Old Words are already places known for player pop.

No. And never going to happen. Would be better to build a working crime and punishment system.

That'd be pointless. The weekly conflicts are just BGS wars that happen everywhere. Some are just random and some are deliberately maintained by players. There's no reason to do them unless you're interested in doing something in that specific area for BGS, rank, permit or other reason.

I'm interested in doing big, epic battles. Right now the community goal is for mining and there is no way that I know of to go to a conflict zone or res site with lots of people.

There are CGs every week and they usually bring the same number of people, unless it's a really tedious one.
