I like to think servers wanting to attract people would already be implementing those suggestions. Beyond a few core servers such as Discovery, there’s not enough of a current MP playerbase to spread across many servers.
A community-based remaster would definitely bring more people back to the fray, however mechanics are also somewhat antiquated, and games are more evolved now. Librelancer is a good start, which is a C# open-source client - https://github.com/Librelancer/Librelancer
I’d love to contribute but need more C# knowledge, so modding is as far as I go until I can get time enough to learn.
