The fact that we can now get gear by farming the loot zones instead of going astral is great but it has created another problem. It is now much harder to find someone with a ship that can sail in the astral. Converting keys instead of doing allods is leaving us short on ships to go to allods in.
My suggestion is making it so when you trade a key for extra loot conversion you also be given a random part and some crystals. This will allow people who can't go astral due to missing people or lack of a ship good enough to go to build their ship up so later it will be able to handle astral.
