Is the Dark Wheel accepting applications? If they stick to what the Dark Wheel is, according to OP's signature, I wouldn't mind helping solve mysteries and exploring the galaxy! I might even be able to contribute somehow xD

I don't see anything wrong with a group trying to inject a bit of mystery and role play around in-game events. There's precious little of it coming from FD at the moment, the UA being the only mystery of real interest in almost 9 months of gameplay... and even that has dragged on for months now.
Kahina and the Formidine Rift Quest was just as interesting and the story arc that was being played out on GalNet a while ago could have really been something enthralling. Plus with Drew's hints it was a mystery that involved exploration to some extent. Content for explorers... imagine that!
So I wish FD would encourage player groups like this to get more involved with role play and give them some more real tangible content to work with, instead of just GalNet text.

Hmm. I actually feel a little sad about it, because I've got the feeling we won't hear much (if anything at all) from Lady Kahina in the future (at least for quite some time).
I' really would have liked to follow Salomés story in game - But who knows, maybe the new connection to the Dark Wheel will eventually bring something up...
I read the updated profile and to me the additions sound a lot like in those soap operas when an actor doesn't want to play a character any more but the director won't get rid of the charcter entirely. The character then vanishes under misterious circumstances or travels abroad for a long, long time or something like that.
Well, even the hooks for introducing interesting in game stuff (special modules in Kahinas ship) were taken back with this update...

This. It would be great if there were actually more story arcs/missions based around things like the Kahina stuff or whatever this Dark Wheel/SAP 8/Trinkets stuff is, that as Erimus says above, people could get involved with, either individually or in player groups like these. They could and should involve real exploration and multi-part mystery. It is like FD is feeding things piecemeal, and by the time the next piece comes along (if it ever does or is even planned), people have gotten bored with it and left already (see UA, the supposed Raxxla missions, the SAP-8, etc.). I haven't actually logged on for two weeks now, my longest break since beta, and am only checking certain forum threads from time to time out of addiction, and eventually that will wear off. 1.4 Capture the Flag certainly is not going to bring me back, nor are procedurally-generated missions that consist of better text fluff that trys to hide take/get/kill/find x of y to/from/in place z.
