1.)Why should we change the map?
We should change the map for a lot of reasons. For one of many shared concerns (I believe) is that it is hard to come back to and know where everything is the first time. It's the constant looking at a map that makes me honestly (and probably the rest of us) a little sick. As well as the over crowding, and just big blur the map is.
The solution?
I don't even know if this game has the planet option anymore where you could go to this lava planet, a spring planet, etc. Maybe bringing this system back to down size the map. A
planet that's like a
shopping district/bazaar where all ships from far and wide come to sell weapons, clothes, heads, etc. Goods and services could be hand selected for this. The choice of clothes at this place and weapons in the homeland for example. (idk)
Another planet could be in
constant war where you would put basing. It would give staff more room to try creative basing while also finding ways to deal with the balancing issues because of the new slate.
Or just keep the bases in the homeland and create a "lore" to explain why and maintain balancing issues there (if there is any).
2.)Staffing
**not all staff on zone are lazy I am just saying in a general way to make this easier for me to write**
It could be dealt with in one fair swoop where
we just rehire them all, ezpz, problem solved. However,
why not ask first: Why do they feel lazy? What has happened?
Try to resolve this with questions before firing everyone because if we just fire and rehire everyone we will probably end up with the same issue(s) now. Or pick out the people who are working and ask them what we should do since they know about this system and how things work on zone more than the rest of us.
3.) Changing the tileset
I don't know how this would happen or what we could do to make this happen because this is not just, "BOOM!" one day project.I mean none of these changes are, so for this and any of these things to happen. I can only hope it will happen and I would understanding if it took a while. As long as awhile does not mean, "oh we're working on it. It'll just be finished (insert date here)" The date arrives. Nothing happens.
4 & 5)No. Yes I agree, new event items should be added I guess.
I tried to underline things and stuff for people who don't feel like reading. These are just my thoughts though.
