Official Player events and news items

[Wolf]

Hello Commanders,

Hi everyone,

I’m sure you’re all familiar with the GalNet newsfeed in game and how we’re using it to provide updates on the various storylines currently active in game. We want to expand the newsfeed to include more player generated news and particularly upcoming events. As part of this process you can submit a news item for consideration by posting in this thread. To submit a news item simply post with the following:

- Date and time for the news item/event
- Title – this should be brief and include the location
- Description – This should be no more than 150 words
- Commander Name

There are a few rules that need to be followed for submissions:

- Only submit a news item once
- We’ll pick which items are suitable – don’t be offended if we don’t use yours!
- We will edit the text if needed to make it fit with the game
- Legal protection – we own the copyright of the text we use in game

I look forward to receiving your news and events!

Michael

Now this is a really cool move by FD. We can try to have our in game Events announced through GalNet.
Could "Save the Mobius Platform" be a candidate for this, for example?

Cheers

Just thinking.. What if you do announce something like that, and players not in group try to do just the opposite. 20-30 active prople vs xx number in open play.

Or am I wrong about how that works. (?)

Nope, I don't think you're wrong about how that works. If it's popular, the work of the 20-30 people would be swamped by the people in open. Of course, they could choose to do the same thing as the 20-30 people but as we know, people choose their own ways.

The Pilots Federations efforts to expand would be a good news item.

It's all in how you deliver the message.

Deliver it like a PVE Fanatic, have all of Open Play hate you.

Deliver it like a worried station owner, have every single white knight of the internet come to help you.
