i think it'd be fun if the dev's constant tweaks, AI fixes, and new content were posted in the news with an in-game story to go along with it. for example, an AI update would be something like a hive queen capturing new technology from an NPC trader (like the loading screens say they do sometimes). or notices about the capital ships being X% built and nearing readiness for deployment. or the repair beam being recalled by the manufacturer but is now working again. stuff like that.

also: updates about the different factions' capture the cargo successes.

i don't know about the ctc being in the news, but it could happen, as long as there was a tab for them all, i think there are to many bounties in view.

|Station | Bounty | updates | Player Story's |

i know i have suggested the tabs before but i thought i'd do it again here.

Perhaps recent, well-written stories from the Roleplaying board could go in there, content to be decided by the forum Moderator.

User submissions to News items is definitely something I want. Announcing new features in a game-context manner would be cool too.
