Finally Persistant NPCs and story telling opportunities...

[JeffRyan]

With the incoming 2.1 mission revamp the minor factions are going to have persistant NPCs.

For those of us with Player-Run factions, those NPCs are our representatives to the playerbase. Already with the Prismatic Imperium, we've invented some (Corwin Ryan, the leader is actually an NPC I just controlled him more than was usual, we have others like Alicia Mellor our People's Media host and Jesse Ladd our villain who runs the PI Fleet) but now with the mission revamp we'll have others pregenerated for us.

I hope people see this for the opportunity that it is to further flesh out our groups with stories and other background. We for one at the PI LOVE this sorta stuff (checkout The People's Media website) and there'll be more of the same.

LOVE this Frontier, absolutely love it.

Now you want to write stories?

Check out the Lore & Roleplay section. Yeah the one near the bottom of the forum that most people miss. You'll find some great writting in there. Not mine but others.
You might even enjoy a few.

+1 Absolutely agree with the OP! The persistent NPCs will - IMO - be the biggest game changer yet. They will completely change our perception of how we interact with the galaxy and its inhabitants. Feeling attached to some minor faction might be much easier now, prompting us to do stuff in the game not just for personal gain, but because we genuinely want to help our faction! Extremely looking forward to this!

Another +1 for Jeff, I agree with the sentiments completely!

I've introduced a colourful cast of pirates, bounty hunters and crime-bosses in my stories so far and I'm looking forward to fleshing out the backgrounds and motives of the names and faces Frontier are going to give us

I have a few in there myself These are my favourites. And if you'd followed the link in the OP, you'd see the PI is one of the most lore-heavy factions in the game.
