Thread: A sudden craving--looking for suggestions

you sure you wanna move to a server with a lot of pilots ?
Take this in mind:
- wanna go space mining ? sure, but take in mind that there will be at least 2-3 more pilots already mining on the popular asteroids
- wanna destroy the vette another time ? sure, but take in mind that you'll have to wait 2 hours for it to spawn (because some other pilot destroyed it a couple of minutes ago), and that by the time it spawns, 4 more pilots will be waiting to destroy it.
- wanna farm faction points in space ? sure, but be prepared to be shot down by a player every minute
If you're into space PvP, then you should move to a server with a lot of pilots. In any other case, don't
pretty sure after a week halyn could at least hold his own just because of crafted being remotely viable now
Kauri is a nice quite place that is an interesting mix of a strong economy but with lower player density (by which I mean head count not brain cell count). I believe that this is due to Kauri being heavily populated by both US and French players meaning that we have a large population just logging off as the US is logging in.
Hyper on over and have a look.

Sure about that? I created a char on Starsider about a week ago (basically because I heard that there was a good pilot comminity there, and I wanna join in) been grinding rebel faction in normal space, and I do see the odd other pilot, occasionally in aTie too, but none close enough to worry me, or look like they were hunting me down...
But then, maybe they're just allin Kessel/DS

well not infinity, we dont have many pilot entusiasts, its not exactly encouraged player event wise, might have to sort that out at some point and our economy is a bit overinflated atm in my view
You're not kidding. I have an Imperial Pilot on Infinity, and jumpin' jebus, those prices...

I've been struck with a sudden craving to do Freelance again. Thing is, I don't want to drop it again after I'm done--I want to keep a Freelance pilot on my account--and my characters on Starsider ain't changing again. Basically, that means I'm looking for an alternative server suggestion. Where's a quiet server that has some pilots running around? I've heard Kettemoore has some pilots about...
If you're seriously interested in Kettemoor, we'd be happy to have you. Its not a huge group, at best I've seen maybe 20-30 Pilots on a side, but we do have a very diverse group, even a couple POB crews that strap in.

Eclipse has a few.
Yeah, for such a large (???) server, our piloting community is pretty lax. Too many lightstick ravers.
I have a similar issue myself,
I created a toon a couple of weeks back on Starsider as I'd heard that it had a thriving pilot community, and joined a guild which turned out to be a brand new one. Nothing wrong with that necessarily, but since the guild leader/mayor has since resigned, I suspect that the was considered a toy to play with, rather than the commitment it actually is.
Either way, I'm looking for a rebel pilot/jtl focussed guild/town to join. The Starsider forums aren't much help, the guild stickt doesn't have many guilds listed, and none seem appropriate somehow. So does anyone have any suggestions? Not looking for everything to be given to me on a silver platter, mind, just a group of people to go flying with, and have fun on the ground or in space.
