Firstly, please forgive my poor english and I would like to thank you for taking time to read my post.
I see that many commanders, including myself have enjoyed the story telling skills of D.W. Fantastic work Drew, well done that man!
But what of other stories?... The one's we never here about, covered up GalCop or military scandals, corporate faction wars, the brutal and violent world of pirate clan bosses eliminating their rivals. Confessions of a hooker giving explicit detailed accounts of her past clients. A psychopathic murderer targeting high profile victims for his own sadistic pleasure. An alien horror perhaps, where they decend upon a planet and feast on it's inhabitants, reading of the peoples struggles to escape. IMO, stories such as these would add a great richness to the whole Oolite experience.
But...,
And this folks, is where it could fall flat.
The age issue.
We cannot throw this sort of material out there to the masses, for there are commanders with eyes of more tender years. The last thing we would want is some teenage kid having their ship self destruct button pressed by an irate parent.(or even come on to the boards here to complain, I pray that this never happens)
Would there be some way round this? I cannot answer that. (I hope some of you out there can.)
So..., sadly, we may never hear(read) these fantastic, gritty and dare I say it, racy tales.

Safe travels commander.
