I don't know whether cylons have just left because they are mostly 'older' players and have moved on to other games or they are now just farming rocks and plats due to the pv-rock event/bugs. Neither is good because it means there's nothing to do for people wanting to PvP on either side - colonials have no 1 to fight and cylons who do want to fight are outnumbered. It's a shame to here/see because it was actually pretty balanced when I stopped playing and PvP is the heart of this game.

If it is the case that it's unbalanced then I don't think a faction switch will help. All you'll get is older bored players switching to do something new for a bit, who will eventually leave. I like the idea of merging other less populated servers - at least the cylons that have stuck around are more likely to stay than colonials who are on the way out

I really hope something changes but until then I'll mainly play in a better space sandbox game, popping back to see old friends/if there's something new.

Hey Panfire, I was excited to see you log in a couple of times... But you're right, there's not so much fun involved lately... I almost smashed my keyboard the other day, the bloody ship just didn't want to turn.

And for cylons... go to Nilfhel... at any given time you can find at least 20 liners spread out around the system..some are afk macroing, others are just farming NPCs... Every NPC field is farmed by a group of players no mater where you go. Seems like everyone is farming NPCs...

the past week has been fun.. cylons putting up a fight.. nicely balanced.. a lot going on.. but only during the day time.. at night time or at dawn hours.. nothing..

this game lacks a fundamental.. its called.. CONTENT.. nothing to do in the game anyways... all games have a lifespan.. even the most complicated of games..

this game has very little of that.. BSG will die in a year.. pushing 2 years maybe... but thats all its got

you can faction switch and nerf and bump and play with the physics as much as you like.. in fact.. they killing the battlestar theme because of this... trying to make cubits some how

lets all get on board the battlestar titanic.. we might at least stand a chance then.. :P

I still say that the server has become colonial dominated and not just because of the npc farming, when I used to play all the time Nilfel was always farmed and swamped with cylons but even then it was either pretty even or at times still cylon dominated. My entire clan have actually upped and left so I know its down to people leaving, sure they may pop back once in a blue moon but its a very rare event.

The standard of skill has dropped dramatically too, on both sides. I'm still only lvl 36 because of my on and off play but I am tearing people apart that are lvl 80+
In the past these guys would, for the most part, dominate me...

needs some serious balancing done to bring back the old players.... and getting the game mechanics sorted.

You could balance things out by reducing the time of RCS sliding for strikes (yeah a slider can be annoying) or if you dont want to do that create a (computer perhaps?) thingy that will be called anti-slider and that would be able to stop all sliding of a ship at once (this nerf would last about 20 secs so no sliding for 20 secs)
