It hasn't really become the information age until recently. wow, the crazy things google are up to now. serious information there.
But anywho, I suggest the devs store up a bunch of information from the game. graph the prices, monitor player density in areas, # of player deaths in areas, #bots killed in an area. where items are most sold, where items are least sold.
They could be very powerful tools for making events. Like if theres a certain botting area in grey space that people are always going to, make a levi appear. Overtrading of stuff at a station? News flash! station fire!

rumor has it that BLAK is already on top of this

Not a rumor a fact... don't tell anyone they will kill you for knowing.

Also vo-wiki.com and vokb.org has alot of info

for some reason, i think the devs could do this alot better than any player. A player would have to post a bot in each sector to do this properly, and do everything that fnugget has suggested be recorded
