Im not sure what the feelings are on "instant" grouping, but the ability to warp directly to Deneb to participate in the battles would certainly increase participation. Lore-wise we could figure out how to make that work. Id imagine a civilization capable of hyperspace travel could find a way to generate wormholes.

Deneb is a lot of fun to play in, but the population is all NPC. I know that I for one would be in there all the time if i could just click a "participate" button in a station and generate a private wormhole directly to Deneb.

-1 Instant travel is horrific.

It's only for deneb. Instant travel wouldn't exist for anything else.

If I had a panny every time someone opened a thread just to whine about traveling to Deneb, I'd be richer than Donald J Trump.

Seriously, STOP and THINK before you spawn a thread that's completely redundant.

Besides, this thread is addressing the wrong problem. Yes, it's true that Deneb is usually not fun enough to justify the moderate travel time required to get there, but the real issue is the lack of fun at Deneb, and possibly the lack in the actual traveling (especially within Purple Space). Those are the problems that need to be fixed, e.g. through the long-awaited introduction of conquerable stations in Deneb, introduction of the military progression gameplay, maybe more interactive NPCs along the path, etc.

Alas, another deneb thread.

Not your fault stinkpalm, you probably haven't been around long enough to see that Deneb is a recurring topic that has hundreds of pages of discussion that regurgitate much of the same points and then Incarnate occasionally steps in and says "I'm not opposed to that idea" or "yes, I know Deneb needs help" and follows it up with no significant action. (I think the most that has happened in years is the addition of turrets in Geira o-4? or did even that not happen yet?)... Sadly there is nothing that can really be done to prevent good intentioned newer players from making the same suggestions because the forums are overstickied and impossible to search.

Alas, another deneb thread.

Or as a alternative, you could just create a alt that is in Deneb all the time and use it when needed. Frickin newbs.

Why should people have to create an alt - they may prefer to fight in Deneb with their main/only character?

If you want to fight in Deneb with your main, then fly to Deneb with your main.
