Went into the CZ solo, and while I was driven off a few times by getting ganged up on, I managed to get out without much damage, so I still at least just barely turned a profit after fuel and repairs. Claimed about another 500k in combat bonds.
I was a bit surprised to see no commanders in the CZ on a Saturday, but as I was shutting down (I have a poker game with friends to head to in the suburban wastelands shortly), I went into the groups menu, and found not only did it show a count of members in Mobius PVE, but it showed their online status. Not. A. Single. Other. Person. Online.
It could just be the time of day, but I'm starting to think that letting people jump back into the regular Mobius group just because they have more people on their friends list in European timezones (as do I) was a bad idea.
