Community Event / Creation Bizarre Fictional News Feed

I've found it difficult to write Elite Fiction for some reason (I haven't even managed to put a decent drabble together). I think it's because whenever I write something I have to feel what I'm creating is unique in some way.

Anyway, while playing ED the other night I really got stuck in to some of the combat scenarios in multiplayer and I was inspired to create a news feed dedicated to the fictional (or is it?) mercenary group Swift Dispatch.

My goal is to regularly update it with exciting news of combat and politics, based loosely on my experiences in the game. I hope it will develop into an interesting way for me to convey some of the heroic and despicable events in game and will surely mention some stand-out commanders.

As with most things I do, it will either be mediocre or total rubbish. Probably the latter, so I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read it.

Hm, these Swift Dispatch laddies seem like they should be kept an eye on - glad to hear you're doing that for the rest of us commanders.
 
Hm, I've thought for a while that Freeport needed some attention - not sure this is what I had in mind though. At least they appear to have been sticking to those already showing signs of being bad trouble.

They're pretty much amoral. This time it just so happens that the money was to be made by targeting criminals. No doubt if there was money in assassinating innocents they would have been happy to do it.

Yes you have a good point there about the innocents
 
Nice reads tnx!

Would be good to have some navigation possible between the articles.
Every blogplost opens up a new browser so that's a bit of a pain.

Other than that: keep'm coming!

How are you read them? Through the archive? If so, you don't want to do that, just got to the main page and keep scrolling down for all posts in a timeline.

Thanks for the kind words!

Ahhh stupid me! I landed on the Who Are... page and went directly to the archive after that yes. Sorry about that.
 
Hawken sitting in his simulator cockpit wondering what it would be like to fly out in space with his peers. His package is registered "standard" they wouldn't let him fly till 29 ... but he have heard news that these space is not safe and news here spawns new fear. Reckless choice he thought to himself, but the chips are down and fear is just an illusion ... .

The ion radio sparks and a voice came on " We have the latest report of a new series of weapon test in sector CN-6510, all pilots please stay away from these no fly zone, remember no insurance will be issued if you encounter accidents in this zones."
