devs havent hired a full time RP writer, we now have events that tie in with community goals. Plus the devs are off at a gaming conference micheal brookes and co havent been active for 5 das now
Presumably, the Emperor is still in a coma and for now everyone is politicking and gathering up support while the devs try to make sure the background simulation is in place for an event like an Imperial Civil War. Also I imagine community goals need to be designed around the civil war too. I hope they do some cool touches like doubling the worth of personal and battle weapons in imperial stations as the war kicks off, then slowly increase the price of weapons, foodstuffs, metals and other materials used in a war as it drags on, and allow us to store thousands of tons of these items in inventories of some kind. I'd like to see a living market where the average price of an item fluctuates drastically, would make the universe seem more realistic. (And who doesn't love a little war speculating?) Naturally there should be lots of interesting combat missions up for the civil war as well, not just conflict zones. I really would rather they delay the civil war until they have everything in place to make it fun.

Suspect not having a full time experienced person dedicated to this is the main reason, otherwise there'd be months of content written in advance and a story arc already fleshed out, not what we have now which is a little disjointed and not really that engaging. I stopped reading the political story arc a long time ago but do dip into the player driven articles to see what's going on.

i think federation, alliance and indepdant groups should start to try and flip star systems away from the empire and wait and see how the devs respond
Best of luck. We are watching, always watching.
