howdy dan! lol would you please tell us what those prejor ship parts are? is it some type of souped up stuff i can throw on my ship maybe?

Suggestion:
Keep news events active, at least during each storyline, so we can go back and read from the beginning. Then maybe archive them on the announcement forum or something.

I completely agree. I actually hope to have a better way of showing the entire storyline as its happening as new players join mid-way.

When the story finishes however, it will be slightly re-tuned and placed into the normal mission list as one massive chain.
