How would a single one of these things help NF to improve its player base???

The playerbase and excitement in NF is being destroyed because of the lack of skill, teamwork, and variety in the game.

I fail to see how your solutions fix that.

In fact, your solutions would just accelerate the decline as people would get big ships they are worthless in faster, thus feeding the idea of a skill-less game without teamwork.

so lets see if i have your points right:

1. i want to buy a full 120 crew and dont want to grind and learn how to play.

2. some case here for EBB but not for Pcl/ca/bb/cv

3. i dont use manual, i dont want to be punnished.

4. i cant afford point 1 and dont want to play for 6 too 8 months before i get a BB/CV6

i love this game. it helped me when i lost my father and brother to cancer back in 07. kept my mind busy. anyways most of your ideas are way off. beginners should not have high tier ships because the grind is what makes you a better player. watching a skilled bb driver is a thing of beauty that cant be bought.

I only logged on the site to see what foolishness was on the forums....sure didn't take long to find. ^^

NF isn't fading away, how can it be, after all I'm still here even if on very rare occasions..:)
But seriously now, NF isn't fading, it's just changed from how it was, you either like it or hate it but rest assured you'll still find yourself drawn to the game for reasons that only each individual understands. The game play yes, the challenge of battle yes, the shear size of options involved but perhaps mostly due to the friends you have made in the past and the ones you'll make in the future. There are many here who I call friend, some from as far back as early BETA and even though I rarely play or check this forum I'm still in daily contact with many gamers from around the world and get at least 2 or 3 new friend requests on Facebook per month from old NFer's who have hunted me down..:)
That's what makes this game so special, the people, so enjoy it while you can and stop hassling SDE, they have reasons for their decisions most of which you'll never know or understand but rest assured there are people within SDE/TNF who care very much about this game, trust them and have fun....:)
