OOC:
I guess some of you don't bother with reading section XII of the backstory. Greyspace is as much a warzone as GR/Deneb. The last ten years of the official backstory include not one but two instances of civilian bombardment attacks against Serco originating, evidently, from someplace within grey space.
With the established long term memory of the Serco people and the relatively recent attacks upon it's populace, any official content that would further encourage foriegners, especially itani, to travel through its space would be seriously misconcieved.
Also, in the not too distant backstory past, both UIT and Itani governments refused entry to Serco pilots in search of the Arkanese base. To think that both would now officially throw open their borders to Serco pilots for something as frivolous as a race is quite a stretch. The UIT perhaps, since they're more concerned with money and luxury, but many of the Itani are nearly as anti-Serco as the Serco are anti-Itani.
The most recent portion of the backstory speaks of unknown wormholes and hidden bases - where's the content that follows up on that? That should come long before any care-bearish non-storyline based content. Aren't there enough games for the care-bears out there already????
The day the devs change the backstory to incorporate non-pvp based content in the game is the day I, for one, will have to seriously reconsider where I spend my gaming money.

OOC...
Do any hidden wormholes and sectors actually exist?
[edit for clarity]
Not nitpicking, just curious

OOC: Not that I know of, then again I haven't been to every sector of every system. From the backstory it sounds like the Latos-Sedina-Odia-Bractus-Pelatus-Edras route may not have been known at the time but the greyspace corps seem well too established to have arisen in a few short years. Perhaps it was only the Serco and Itani who didn't know of that route? Or maybe the Pelatus-Edras wormhole was the 'hidden' one?
Still, you'd expect a hidden base somewhere - I know its not in Pelatus or Bractus though as I'm pretty sure I've thoroughly explored all sectors in both systems.

OOC: Many take the hidden wormhole to be two things, both:
1) The discovered but semi forgotten fourth wormhole in Sol 2
AND
2) THe wormhole to the Akanese home system. Personally, I put it just barely within Itani borders, namely Jallik. Soon, I hope to get some mini background done (a condensed one paragraph thingy) and send it to John, see if he'll let me make a mission to follow it. The Akanese need more of a presence then they have now!

The two remaining wormholes in Sol II were removed from the production server; one is the collapsed one to Earth, the other is not elaborated on by the backstory, and neither worked while they were around, but they tell me you could target them (back when you could target wormholes). It is a common belief that the wormhole to the Akanese wormhole is in Pelatus, though that is background only; no real wormhole or ingame object there at all.
As for "leaving the day the devs change the backstory to incorporate non-pvp based content in the game", well, I'd like to say you'll be missed, but we all know otherwise, don't we? Specially since pretty much all the content is non-pvp, with the exception of the Corvus and Deneb border missions. Or do you think Trade Guild missions are pvp?

English isn't your first language is it? Please reread the quoted statement and consult a dictionary. And yes, I know you would miss me very much. (Did you miss the 'change the backstory' precondition?)
Pelatus would make sense - Lord knows there's nothing else in that system of any interest or use!

English is my first language and I interpreted the mentioned quote exactly the same as JK did.
Perhaps it isn't YOUR first language, Omni. Oh, that's right, isn't it, because your first language is "flame-thrower".

OOC:
Ok, you got me, my first language is C. But even in english that logic reads pretty clear to me. The day that X occurs, Y will happen. But then logic seems to not be a strong point with a few people on this thread. [EDIT]By the way, did you not notice it is a misquote in the first place? LOL!![/EDIT]
Seriously though, this thread does seem to have served its purpose and run its course. What's the custom here with a dead thread - locked to avoid resurrection or just wither away?

Ah, here it is simple. You must invoke the forbidden word and get many others to as well:
NINNY
Welcome to the Ninny Lock :)
Oh and to answer something I missed before, Grey space used to be part of the Union of Independent territories before the Corps in it Seceeded (Not all, though. Like TPG or Orion). This is in the Design wiki I believe, which is Dev official backstory.... let me find the link... here: http://design.vendetta-online.com/wiki/index.php?title=Organizations
That's for all the organizations. I believe it's mostly the same as the description for each faction in stations.

No, english is not my first language; as for "when X happens Y will happen", I was simply pointing out X has already been fulfilled, so I'm waiting for you to do Y. Bonus points for noticing I was twisting your words, tho ;P
As for computer languages, gimme Assembler!
