Stick to Space Opera vs Attempts at Humor

[dwillo82]

So my first 30 minutes or so with this game have been very pleasant and leave me wanting more.

*great music - really lays builds the atmosphere
*the attempted humour in the compendium does not fit the style of game - I refer to mentions of 4chan ect in backstories. I feel that humor is just out of place and overall detracts from the experience. Stick to the space opera vibe, its good no need for slapstick. I think most people who play this type of game would appreciate serious sci-fi, certainly I do.
*more factions - not enough IMO
* everything is nicely laid out, as I said very early impressions will update as I spend more time

Thanks for admission to the beta. Ive been looking forward to this title for sometime and so far it looks fantastic.

Dan, of loosely-affiliated-with-RPS-and-I'm-sure-other-awesome-endeavors fame?

I need to pay more attention. I had no idea you were involved in this project.

Back to my save from last night, where I will now be scrutinizing every word!

Why am I suddenly more excited about a spiritual successor to my Favorite Game of All Time now that I know you're penning the text? Should I seek medical help?

Hallo! Yes, mild internet fame. Adam from RPS tweeted that the developers needed a writer, so I volunteered. All sorts of fun ensued.

Please, scrutinise hard. I need good feedback. If it's too ponderous, or too silly, let me know!

I've enjoyed the written content thus far. Its a nice touch of detail that needs physical form in game.
