This... in my opinion, there has never been, and should never be, any connection between the Elite/Oolite universe and the Frontier universe - oil and water!
You see it was fine. When there was ambiguity, I mean no offence when I say until the kickstarter this was an old game, surrounded by maybes and might bes. Possiblies but probably nots. So the cannon became defocused, hazy, like an uncared for garden that had a cluttered beauty.
With renewed interest (and money) order and focus was required. The garden of Elite is being weedwacked back into shape gentlemen, like it or not. Our garden needs separation, game wise we have it and Fronteer do not appear to want us gone (we would be C.A.D. by now) I assume we are "good advertising" for the newer Dangerous experience (I hope, after the release of Dangerous they will look kindly upon us. Although that is a hope). Fiction wise we are in a shambles!
If we are "nostalga" that found another way it should be proclaimed. Elite was the base, then it was opened up to the players, to make the world as THEY wished it to be, so oolite was born.
You see a gap in the game, you make an oxp. So if you see a gap in the fiction: It's time to write a story.
I can't fix this on my own; I'm a selfish writer prone to a nasty mary sue slant that I find as addictive as crack, but we can. I don't want to set the world on fire (this time), but we, together as writers can fix this. so who's interested?
