I think that zones population is not as much as the other servers.i think it's time to increase the population,most noobs quit cause they don't do anything except getting killed by more experienced players.well first you gotta get to level tree to fix ships(or use iTunes ) you should get a basic gun like lr or matallic,then you can start hanging out in pvp planets to get kills and money.when you earn enough you can buy a better gun like lightning,red,green,flower,poison and the thingy that shoots green lazer and knocks you back a lot(forgot the name.)then you can do whatever you want and start making yourself look awesome that's all.
