Im not sure of the exact number of pilots in ASF/CSF, but it boils down to this:
ASF has less pilots (roughly half) that CSF does. However, ASF has twice the skill on its side than CSF does. Which means that even though ASF is usually outnumbered in ASF/CSF battles, we tend to win a lot of those fights. Unless of course the people im shooting at are jumping like hell, and the server conditions are bad. Then the outcume is questionable.
I would argue that the numbers of active members on each side are about the same, but that the ASF has a strong advantage. The ASF is organized, robust in its ability to act against threats, and has a very high skill level (though it's just as inactive it seems as the CSF). The CSF does not have active leadership, is not organized, and the forum quieter than a pirate screaming in space as his ship decompresses (no offense intended, but it's true). I think there's a lot of potential still though, it's just that nobody really does anything. It's supposed to be a 24/7 RP system yet the CSF has been sitting out most of the time. Lag or not the fights aren't fun because they never happen. Maybe Privvy can start rallying the troops so we can get the ball rolling again [11]
