As of now many people seem to stop at RS9 as there isn’t much incentive to run 10+ for arts. I only run 10s for rich asteroids. If higher levels provided more blueprints I’d be inclined to run them.
There aren’t any miner or transport mods past 9 and the mods that are past 9s aren’t inherently necessary to be successful and have fun in the game.
If influence points provided a bonus or reward at some level than that could incentivize pushing it higher.

Well, enough influence gets you a distinction, which is the hardest distinction to get for the majority of the players... Isn't that enough?

For me? Not at all. Getting a blueprint bonus, hydro production bonus or credit bonus of some sort (all percentage based) would be worth it. Something to help you progress in the game.

For sure need more mods to fill out rs levels. Most levels feel empty
Or maybe some mods need level 2 prints to get an offshoot of that mod? Can have suspend v2 larger range lower bonus (random example) but only get prints rs11

That’s interesting, I like it.

Mass v2 2 targets larger range or shorter range more targets rs10 prints
Like need to hit level 12 on v1 before you can even unlock v2

Not everyone needs to help you with progress...DRS10 at least is more challenging and fun than DRS9. It's like with White Stars. No progress for the individual, but they may enjoy doing it.

You dont feel the tech has some gaps?

Gaps? Like, you can get the most important mods from lvl 9 arts and below?

Only real reason to rs10 for artifacts is CRT if you WS
Bomber Rocket is… okay. Delta Drones are good in WS
For rs11
None of those are good in RS

People buy lvl 10 shields for miner arts too. 2 shields for 3 miners.

¯_(ツ)_/¯
Someone likes Motion Shield I guess
I guess Motion + Suspend + Repair Drone is viable?

Could very well be if they're at lvl 12+? Almost no damage at all for 45 seconds.

Not asking “everyone” to help people progress. And it’s great that some may enjoy doing them just for the sake of doing them but I think that’s a small percentage. I was suggesting something to have a broader appeal to the community as a whole. To illicit more participation.

Have you tried team DRS10 before? Not just arts.

There's already incentive for rs10. The ghost objective.

No, I only run DRS for the arts or croid I get. I can only carry 1 lvl 10 art at the moment (3500 bps short of CBE 13) so it’s not worth running them for arts. But even when I can carry them I doubt I’ll run 10s unless I need the arts they provide.

That’s not really fair. Can still grab a 10 and 2 lowers per trans

But also at a higher hydro cost than running 9s. Although minimal, still higher.

I run like 5-6 drs a day 
All the rs are kinda set up to take one main and a few lowers at some point till you hit the double mark. Yes high level players got boned on prints I lost ~25% of my cap. Players not stuck in the bad spot during update will all have the chance to carry 2x main level if they want
crimson rune
I run 1 DRS a day for myself and some days none (other than a croid run). Because I research all 12 arts I pull from the top level planets. So I get 1.5 days worth of research per DRS I run.
