Lore

[ptklawson]

I haven't seen anything about this on the discussions, but there is a really cool potential for lore in this game. Is there already a thread on this or a way to discuss the possibilities?

OP isn't talking about Lore; he's talking about lore. :P

When I say lore, I mean making the story of the Shutdown, the 3 factions, etc actually affect gameplay. Plus it would be more interesting than fighting a series of indiscriminate red triangles.

this is what they have for background story so far and are open to feedback

I stumbled across the seemingly defunct AI Core while flying about, but there was nothing to do there. No salvage, no hostile defenses, nothing. So.... there's that.

Well, there are automated cannons throughout the galaxy in Entropy (including wilderness), so there could be a lingering presence of the AI or they'd all be shutdown. I'd love it if there were also elements of Asimov's Foundation series in this game, as we could easily equate the corporate factions to Asimov's Anacreon, Foundation and other "space kingdoms". There would also be a place for the AI Core.
