Greetings Commanders,
This has probably been suggested before but I'd like to make another appeal to have more information in the game.
For me part of why the galaxy seems somewhat lifeless is because I don't feel involved with any of the factions and powers.
We (I) just don't know much about them unless you delve into the wiki, read some of the novels or are a player who's been playing Elite since the 80's.
To me it seems weird that i have to alt-tab to read about some of the history or the public figures of the powers.
Without prior knowledge or other sources the only thing I know about the Empire is that they have some form of legal slavery an d have shiny ships for instance.
The lack of this knowledge makes it (for me at least) harder to "roleplay" or feel invested with any of the factions making my actions feel like they have no real consequence.
Therefore I suggest creating a history or knowledge tab in Galnet where you can read up about all of that.
I doubt that it would take a lot of effort to create something like that but could contribute quite a lot.
Also add an information tab about the powers in the powerplay section. The info about them is scarce to say the least.
Why would I pledge myself to one of them if I hardly know what they stand for?
Also it would make travelling to some planet 20000 ls away much less tediousif you have something to read in the mean time.
So what are your thoughts fellow commanders?
cheers,
Metal Marty
