Please list rumors, one per line with "s around them, that you feel should be added to the game.
EXAMPLE:
"That is the Law of Shalun -- a spacing Captain cannot control the sequencing the Contracts she has sworn an oath to complete. It is the duty of the Captain to honor the agreement to the letter and give no preference to any Faction, once having sworn the Oaths."
"The best entertainment I've found in this Spice Hall is playing that hologame CyberKnights. Check it out!"

"It is not the best idea to make everybody like you. Shalun taught us that every man needs his enemies as he needs his friends. Enemies are the ones who stop your friendship from being shallow and make it worthy." as a variation to: BASIC LAW OF STAR TRADERS. STOP MAKING ALL THE FACTIONS LIKE YOU.
"Old Captains of the Quadrant know the truth: Never pull the battery from your ancient reactor core. It is not going to save you from certain death. No. It is not." as a variation to: people sometimes think this [pulling the battery] will save them from death, no.
"A Fast Ship is not an Efficient one. It will drink your fuel just like the unhappy crew will drink the Vudka. But it is fast. Wzooom! Like this."
"Centralized banking is a backbone of all the Factions and their commerce systems. Not very trusted, but when it comes to money -- invincible. That's why nobody steals money these days." as a variation to: centralized banking is a backbone of the reputation, Faction and commerce systems.
I would definitely like more of Shalun laws and rules teaching ones.

Nice rumors, well put and I like adding ones that advance rules or add additional insight to those that take the time to read them.

good rumors fenikso  *tries to help dig you out of karma deficit* with all of the "combat is so hard" posts, maybe a rumor about the importance of associated combat skills would be a good one to throw in. it's not always intuitive that stealth can help avoid hits in combat.. and there are surely lots of players who have never even been here to the forums. |

k0rd -- very true. more rumors about the value of the Captain's skill is a good idea.
With 600 forum members and 100,000 players we DEFINITELY have more players than forum members. =)

I would prefer more complete skill descriptions than skill based rumors.

1) that Tactics improve your chances of successful attacks
2) that Explore can help in Harvests as well as Explorations
3) that Tactics help motivate your crew when they WANT to do something, but Intimidate helps motivate your crew when they DON'T want to do something
4) that Pilot skill + Intimidate should = your Hull size to improve your handling of ships
5) that the Spicebucks chain of Spice Halls makes amazing Frapaspico Grandes - but just don't expect good coffee from them

"While every spacer knows the Universe is not a perfect place, many believe it is still governed by a level of understanding far beyond our own, known as The Developer. Some even believe that if they pray to The Developer through artefacts of ancient computer technology, the developer responds to make the universe a better place for all."
"The universe's understanding of the spacer is far greater than the spacers understanding of the universe"

phantum - I really like the first one. Maybe I would change some wording? The Universe -> The Quadrant, The Developer -> The Maker? I am not sure, but I think there is some reference to him in some other rumor. It might be a good idea to make a list of words and what they mean, so we can reference them in rumors consistently.

regarding low rating spice halls and how effective the round of spice and/or entertainment on raising morale:
you're gonna need more than two rounds of spice just to make your crew forget that you even brought them in a dump like this.
time lapsed when selling contraband:
the prince really appreciates your business, you just don't want to make him look like a gun runner.

We noticed that one of our pilots have survived to a Narvidian atttack. His ship was damaged but he escaped using a shuttle. He come back to the palace and gave us the coordinates so we can go and board it to get more information about this aliens. (spice hall rumor ... or contract  ) +chance to have an encounter with a Narvidian ship |
