10k new android players per day - won't help Deneb participation unfortunately
I wonder how many hours they play if at all. Or did they just download the game and login once.
10k players is approx. 333 per month approx. 13 new players per hour.
That's pretty cool but yet given the limited restrictions this won't help Deneb activity unfortunately. FYI that is where the Vendetta is going on isn't it ? The actual war between Itan and Serco.
Anyhow, would be cool to see ALL new players pass a flight test and training about where to repair and home at the closest station for Deneb participation; and then dump them directly from training into the Deneb war with a warthog at least they could run away and buzz around to look at it all. Docking with ships and using their turrets some too.
Android users limitations will never get them to Deneb unfortunately.
Deneb participate remains extremely low.

Deneb's horribly inconvenient location won't get them to deneb.
This is more of a suggestion, but anyways. The only thing wrong with Deneb, in my opinion, is that I can't sell ships and weapons to people fighting in Deneb. I'd like to be able to supply both sides with more effective armaments to engage in combat in Deneb. This would DEFINITELY get more people staying there. If they had people, like me, who could effectively supply the war effort in Deneb, it would allow more fighting time for the people who would like to fight there. Knowing that there are individuals that could supply their efforts, it would motivate more nationalists to stay in Deneb.
If people want to complain about the faction exclusivity of ships, then cool. Don't let people drop those ships, just like you can't drop ANY ships now.
The whole argument about how FTPers would take advantage of this is garbage. It would require months, at least weeks, of intense coordination, and really would not be that effective, as none of them can pilot a ship that can carry another ship. Unless they would grind for the heavy miner moth, which could only carry an EC variant ship, that they could just buy anyways.
Even if some clever newb figured out a way around the above mentioned process, like subbing for a month, building up ship supplies, then unsubbing, they would still have to have the required licenses to actually pilot the ship anyways.
(takes deep breath)
ALLOW SHIP TRADING FOR ALL SHIPS EXCEPT FACTION SPECIFIC SHIPS ALREADY!!!

The only indication that there's anything worth doing in Deneb early on is a "Join the Military" mission that appears when you get Combat 3.
I've seen newbies ask on more than one occasion "Where are the big battles with the huge ships?"

We still have to balance the stations in Deneb better, make things more conquerable as have been requested, etc etc. Yes, driving newbies to deneb will be interesting too, but we have a lot of priorities and that is not necessarily the highest one.
Two fixes Deneb needs. The easy one is decent drops. The more difficult one is adding more variety to what it takes to win the mission. Bombing gets old after a while. Deneb is where the SCP and X1 should really shine rather than generic pvp or nation war.
If a new player comes into the game, logs in once and leaves, thats not the fault of Deneb.
The UI is too antiquated/convoluted to keep new players around. Especially from Android. VO needs a new interface.

Cool story bro. You could go start a suggestions thread about how to improve the UI instead of just complaining and saying it's too complicated.
I have. Bro.
When aggregated together, these kinds of discussions always mix down into:
"EVERYTHING WOULD BE BETTER IF ONLY EVERYTHING WERE BETTER! WHY DON'T YOU FIX IT! DUH!"
Soo, yeah, going back to fixing stuff now :).

what kind of aggregator is used for such a task? and may I have one in game?
Personally, my preference is to use an aggregate of the Milanar, Prosus, and Seipos Data Aggregators. I usually use a 60-20-20 balance favoring the Milanar variant, simply because it is the most accessible to me.
