untill the new MV gets online i have the following idiear
let the center systems in mv all reset each week mabvye 2 times each week
advantages:
newbies can get building poinet
newbies can get capture points
vets nobbs and others can battel the pirates in lalande and epsilon ind at predefined times that will also give the noobs a chance to get surply points 
This is one of the functions the noobs can have:

i see it this way only good thing we / i / us got out of the totaly domination over mv was the ai fleet in epsilon din
lol what else was there to do
some kind of reward for actuly doing this should be made right
but its not the surgestion here sorry
we truly need some thing out of it
possiblityes:
the above mentioned badge
only problem how do we actuly award it to the active players that did the campaign
there could be an counter for mv activityes in enemy systems playing in here so from an leader FA or more anounce or start an campaign into enemy systems and from that point those with an sertain amount of play time in the campaign / mv would recive the ribbon when they reach the goal set up for them.
all metal hypermatter darkmater ship parts etc... from taken enemy systems get transfered to you home systems and to points where you can pick it up for free if you have the campaign ribbon.
other options ?

Resets imho are a pain in the rear Nuffin worse than spending many hours in a system fixing it up Fighting & Becoming popular with the natives , its a tad sad when you have to spend another 3 hours rebuilding & getting to know the new natives , the last lot went friendly & Hand it over without a hassle .. the Native Darkspacians in yellow suits actually fought back ... quite dismally but twas enjoying watching them suffer 
I wonder What Taking an hour a day or a day a week to close down DS & Maintain servers or sumin Would do ?
Example :-
7:30am Restarting FA Servers for Daily MAintenance , Please Feel Free to Play MV Or Camp the Lobby , FA Returns 8:30am
7:30pm Restarting Metaverse & Perfoming Daily Maintenance Please Feel Free to Play Scenario servers Or Camp lobby MV Returns at 8:30pm
Basically Being a Slight hinderence To Players & Staff , Id Much prefer a server going down for a organised time ie: an hour a day or so ,
IF it improves the lag & discoes then having systems reset all the time ..
I Can see this form of thing encouraging more attitude of bahh dun worry bout fighting for a system , well juz wait till it resets & cap it first .. hmm lol the recapping races would be fun if had fair numbers on each faction at time though
Anywayz ... whatya think ?

Instead of a reset every week, how about massive fleets of pirates spawn at a random time every couple days. That way, they have a chance of recapturing the system if no one is defending (effectively a reset) and it also ensures some sort of action in the MV...
EDIT: Also, maybe the time rotations would make sure that there is a pirate fleet in the MV somewhere at least every 1-3 hours...

Well Orion I heard Faustus doesn't want any AI ships whatsoever which kinda kills the idea of mercenary AI ships. I understand it though, those AI ships would need some advanced AI and would cause lag (something the MV can't spare).

Well i can understand that BUT i live in europe and when i get online there are almost NO players in the MV at 18:00 the player rate gets a bit up for me its 12:00 USA time then.
simple story short i want ships that i can shoot when I get online.
dont tell me to get more ppl in playing DS that wont do for a while.
I want AI ships to kill blast for the times when DS gets DEAD.
im still a fricking Admiral while ppl in the US that came in here 3 months ago are FA already

Just to add. Fighting the Yellow pirates in Indy was excellent fun, initial when they where spread out accross Indy it was a turkey shoot, but as they became more and more concerntrated around few and few planets they became pretty dangerous.
So Yes more Pirates please.

If we cannot have Pirates in MV how about allowing them in FA games ? or have Pirates make up the numbers during quiet times, or allow stand alone specials against Pirates ?

I Say no to Resets.
The Reason is simple: DarkSpace is trying to be a Persistant game.
I dont see Resets Fitting into that discription.
Not to mention doing anything to capture those systems is a complte waste of your time since they get reset every 2 days.
You are basicly trying to turn them into Long FA Servers.
Also dont forget that people will be getting all their build points from platforms in the future. (Why cant anyone remember this?)
Also if you want the Center system to be yellow then give the AI's a Bomber cruiser with Quantum Technologie.
That way they can QSB Planets, Cap them and Rebuild.
Give the AI's a good fleet and Wankeh! Yellow Center systems!
It beats lame resets.

Instead of resets, have a pirate AI fleet periodically invade each of the "center" systems.
Whichever option, I greatly advocate the further use of AI ships to make the game more enjoyable, AT LEAST until we get a larger playerbase.
