The nodes on Astral have often been drained lately to the point where it is not possible to hunt there (responsibly). Would you be open to either adding a way to speed up the recharging of them or adding other, comparable, areas for late-game hunting?

Bumping this comment/question up. Someone mentioned about having an artifact that would let people see a list of all nodes and their energy levels remotely anywhere in Astral, is this something you'd consider? 

Also and I am joining the bandwagon, any chance of other avenues for late-game bashing please?

Last question, I can see that aetherhunt can be a good bashing and RP bonding feature but correct me if I am wrong. What I know is that collectors get less xp than pilots, empath and turrets. Is it possible that "active" collectors i.e. the ones who literally link should also get the same xp benefit vs the ones who are, for example, just leeching off?

PS: I am glad to see that Lusternia's been improving in all aspects if not day by day, thanks to Orael, Aonia, Ianir and the various volunteers on the background.  I know you've been quite of busy lately and with the threat of what's going on, people are basically at their homes and you guys are there to alleviate that, cheers! 

Quick chart of when the last 766 flares/revolts occured, by hour. Data was gathered from the politics newsboard.

There have been plenty of conflict events occurring at times when our side has next to nobody.  I have also played during a time when my side of the game had literally nobody almost all the time. I still never complained about the 'randomness' of randomly timed events, or the 'off peak' nature of them.

If it's randomly timed, it's random. There's no need to adjust it.

Edit: Not trying to start arguments or derail the thread. I just don't personally think it's a thing that needs addressing.

What would be the purpose in revolts/claiming villages if comm generation was no longer tied to them?

Also newbies do not generally need to buy comms in bulk, I'm not sure why they don't buy from villages already, I do! Often the price there is cheaper than our comm shop anyway. However for bulk/larger purchases I see why it is not appealing. Perhaps villages should have an endless supply and raise the ability to buy more at a time (Or have larger stockpile) so there is always comms available at reasonable prices for crafting. Owning the village could be a bonus rather than the necessity. 

I agree about what others have said about the giant hidden stockpiles - if they can't be accessed by most to purchase/use then their existence means nothing to the majority of people in the game and it seems flawed to make rulings about comms assuming that because they exist, there is an overabundance.
