There are a few people who like to play in the MV, and there are others that are put off by the fact that there aren't enough people in the MV and they'll be searching around not knowing where anything is. Plus the fact that they'll also have to travel far and wide to get anywhere....if there were lots of people in the MV then less people would be put off.
So what about a MV only day perhaps? say in the free trial period too, with a newbie MV or something, so that they can play too...no scenario servers
There will be soo many people there the MV will be more welcoming and more people have will have more fun and be encouraged in future to play there.

Sounds like a nice idea during the free Week.

Sadly, the release server code will not handle that kind of strain. The servers would shut down, bringing all of DS with them.
This might be a good idea under the beta server code, however. When that goes live, we will see.

Only problem I see is new players being frustrated that they can't work on badges in there like in scenarios. Some are already upset that it's not easy on FA

Bad idea, today, 36 were in Sol and it almost crashed. Plus, the new guys would get abolutely slaughtered, especially when trying to take on planets. Sure, it may be fun for the kluth, with them able to get powerful ships at a low rank that require little skill to kill things with, but for everyone else it would be hell, like it was today with half the UGTO fleet trying to take on an ecm fort solo and getting slaughtered by planet def and invisible AM mine destroyers, not to mention learning to ejump by jumping into the sun and planets, as was the all too common occurance today in sol. Let them learn in the FA, Captain, or newbie servers. MV is supposed to be a sort of more experienced, if you will, gaming server. One that takes patience and strategy, more than just lots of people gang raping others in non stop fleet battles.

I support this !
Lets take rename the Beta-Server/-Client to FreeTrail-Server, when it isn't used anymore (so in about a year when the current patch is released ).
And let anybody battle there in a small MV (7 systems?! - 2ICC, 2Kluth, 2UGTO, 1 central)
Run it for about 2 weeks, like this current free trial with several MV resets and limitated rank, but prestige gain (only valid on this server).
But it has to be reconsidered if it makes sense to let the kluth on this FreeTrail-Server.
I don't say this because I don't like Kluth, but because of a possible imbalance between Human<->Kluth, according to the more powerful ships up to the dessy-classes (compared with newbie-eyes)
This server MUST be balanced, I think.
So far,
so good,
so w...?
Greetz,
Serapis

How About This for a mini MV! =D
= Planets (duh =P)
ICC -> <- Kluth HomeWorld
HomeWorld /

/ /

----- <- UGTO HomeWorld
P.S. Let me know what you think of this design and whether it just might be worth putting together for real =)

[edit]
....um, okay LOL forget the visual =P
if you wanted to do a mini mv maybe the best way to keep it large enough to keep it interesting would be to have the 3 homeworlds connected to a pentagon (plus a 6th system in the center of it) shaped set of systems that would each be connected to each other
