A message from Salomé

I'd imagine reddit is more popular than here. It's significantly less toxic for one.

Wrong on both. Most of us don't post there as it is an anarchy system, here is more low to medium security.
Serious? More posts on Reddit?

I think the important thing here is Salome's call for independent pilots - us - to fight the existing powers, set blockades, and all that.

Essentially, we're being told we don't have to play Elite like a passive videogame, where you can only ever expect scripted responses. If we strategically play the background sim - and make it clear we're doing so via things like Galnet articles - we can play it more like a pen and paper RPG, something with a real human game master controlling things and reacting to our how our actions affect the BGS.

It's basically telling us how to play to actively interact with the story.

Caveat, I might be biased given that I've been calling for players to do just that for some time.

Except we can, and even already do all that - and don't even need to look at the BGS.
