Player influence.

I think it's great that player instigated/generated events like the "Buckyball Run" are appearing in the "Galnet News". Hopefully there will be more events like this or player intervention that will help shape and influence the world of Elite Dangerous. What sort of events/happenings would you like to see occurring and changing the shape of the galaxy and the political makeup?

Sure would be nice. What I am looking for is an automated system of news feed. Currently I am in an Independent system with local civil war taking place. Not a single reference in GalNet, hard to say who has the upper hand in this conflict or why the war started in the first place. So I decided to take side with the "pirate" (anarchic) faction and what I found very cool were the BH missions asking me to hunt an enemy general and not some kind of random dude in Anaconda. Gives at least some feeling of a live galaxy.

Yes that's it exactly, a live galaxy for me is the key…you and your ship may be a tiny speck in what we know is a vast, vast backdrop but you could end up influencing the outcome in some way...
