Would like to see a change in the current rumor generation.
First would like to have the Palace and Spice Hall have their own seperate pools of rumors instead of sharing the same pool. That way exhausting one location to nothing but "flavor text" rumors wouldn't automatically exhaust all usefull rumors. Give people more of a reason to visit both locations and for planets with closed Palaces or where your captain is barred because of rep means you might be missing valuable information.
Also makes some logical sense because different types of folks are more likely to spend time in the different locations and will have a different take on gossip.
Second is to actually mix the "flavor" rumors in with the "useful" rumors.
Would make more sense as your unlikely to find everything worthwhile to hear before someone grumbles about work conditions or starts spouting Shallun law. Would also make the Spy officers ability to tell you when there are no more useful rumors much more valuable. Having played the game for a while I've seen most if not all the "flavor" rumors so when one pops up I know the well of useful rumors is exhausted on that planet.
With them mixed in you wouldn't know unless you have a Spy Officer that can tell you when all useful information had been gathered.
