I wouldnt go as far as to say Darkspace is doomed or Palestar is evil. IMO, I always felt Palestar was just misguided. Going in the wrong direction. If I truely felt that Darkspace was doomed than I would have dissapeared off the face of Darkspace. I would not be here if I felt that there was no hope for it.

Appoint somebody who might have a little competance at the area of Ship balance. Somebody who will listen to the people for suggestions but intelligently consider them and dismiss them only when there is reason to do so.

well you see, thats a problem.
Obviously we need somebody who plays the game often, and well enough to understand the game's mechanics, and understands the point of everyside.
we also need somebody who is bi(or is tri in this case?)partisian. We can't have, for say, backy as a ship balancer, because suddenly we've have overpowered UGTO. (zing. apolagies already backy).
so it's kindof a catch 22.

Your right, very few people are Tripartisan, fewer play actively, and whom of those can balance a game as complex as DS?

just a thought and observation.
Impossible to find anyone who is actually ACTIVE and unbiased.
Instead of finding one person who can mystically do it all, and at volunteer basis no less, why not assemble a group of people who are from all 3 sides, who are active, and as unbiased as can possibly be expected. Several people from all 3 factions do come to mind.
I always liked the saying 3 heads are better than 1.

Azreal's idea is actually a very marvelous idea.
Personally, if I had done this during my prime, id actually end up deferring to the Players of the UGTO and Kluth as to what they want and need. Why? Because I was ICC, and ill be honest in that I have NO clue what they want, need, or see themselves to be. Ive yet to see a Darkspace Developer whom has done this.

yeah. or just magically make Gideon appear.

well i was interested in this game, and when i got 14 free trial, i was really in for learning the game.
but when you are on free trial no prestige points are given to you.
so i am a midshipman for 14 days, was this a free trial... or just a sucky demo.
since this is the worst trial i have ever seen, i am quitting this game..
what do i need 14 days for if i have to buy it in less than 4 hours gameplay.
mine (made by snoken) ROCKS

no. no. no. and no.
its looks like you've registered just a few days ago, are you sure that you've redeemed the coupon? your profile has stats that contribute to prestige, so you've obviously played. and coupons work like a temporary subscription, allowing users all the benifits of a paid sub (minus the time period). likewise, there have not, to my knowlege, been any other reports from new players about their free trial coupons not working. all that suggests to me that you either didnt actulally redeem your coupon, or for some reason it didnt go thru, in which case you should be contacting a staff member to get it resolved rather than quitting.
as to why 14 days, it was doubled from just 7. and obviously, "your milage may vary", some people will get more game time out of that than others, who have jobs/school/family/lives. for better or worse, this isnt WoW, evercrack or any other MMO that compels persons to live at their computers playing for days on end. your personal life does (and should) come first, and most of the community knows and respects that.
you are supposed to get pres on free trials or coupons, you are a midshipman for as long as you care to be, and while this may be the worst trial you've seen, complaints about it have been few and far between, and thats no reason to quit before you start.

Az beat me to it.
get one or more people from each faction, preferably someone who isn't crazy, put em together. I'd personally recommend someone whos gone to the other factions also, isn't continually saying that their faction necessarily needs more of anything or that they have less of something then another when they arent supposed to, and who isn't a moron.
also would be nice if they knew that (supposedly) kluth was offensive, ICC was defending and UGTO was a mix.
