Refreshing to see new and returning players

[basilhare]

With the past two months worth of negative, naysaying posts ("the game is dying, etc..") it sure has been nice to see so many new and returning players. Average server pop is almost doubled this week. I think this proves the point that the game is alive and well...you only need to run an occasional sale and inject new content to renew the interest...keep up the good work...

Many more will return, once they have their economy and crafting sorted out and also tie that in with player investment in ports, ownership and politics there will be a big influx of players, oh and also the issue of the black still making some people stay away but they is all on the path to being put into game, there are still quite a few ships in the game files which will make their way in, they hold onto them for other dull periods and release them with some other content to create spikes again, ebs and flows of a Early Access game, still plenty of potential here and much more to come
