IN PROGRESS
Principles
- Rumors serve two purposes: (1) they give lore to the player for greater immersion in the world, (2) when possible, they give information about the system (e.g., the existence/location of enemy stations).
- Lore should be interesting. Raw factoids about dates or events are boring. Instead, make sure there is either conflict, mystery, relevance to the player, and/or setup for future events.
