Making the game interesting for a broader population would require the Devs to combat the time investment required to play the game. Right now, unless you can sit down and play Perpetuum for 4-5 hours a day you're better off not playing. For the vast majority of gamers that's too much of a time commitment. Mining for example, would have to be completely reworked because it takes forever, it's boring as hell and "might as well be playing something fun" mentality sinks everyone's boat sooner or later.

This part is quite true, most of the issues with the game is the changing attitudes towards gaming, from 5-10 years ago. Where as now spending hours upon hours everyday just to be barely competitive is no longer acceptable to your average consumer, pounded by the fact there are many more options available.

We can see this happen in Eve too were the daily average is hitting 20k, around 2008 levels.

However moving the goal posts around and rebalancing won't make the game any more appealing for outsiders, aside from the ones already playing. Making big changes , like UI overhaul which was cancelled/postponed and the likes of new bots, if there are not capable of producing this in a short time frame, there is no point but hope for a miracle.

I have nothing to panic about because I have +100 pilots on Jabber with maxed combat accounts.

and i'll repeat an old advice:
change your commercial model.

...you really can earn more money.

What model do you suggest?

The Cash shop would work fine.......

If it had content to fill it

-1 no trials: 90% of them only join because is free then tell their friends it a crap game because, slow, complicated too much reading whatever, and anyways game is not ready yet.
