Thanks. I think I'll take a break, will continue tomorrow. Hoping to see at least some of these lines in uncoming updates.

Quick question. Is it possible to implement barks on these conditions: officer, low hp, low morale, low crew morale/hp?

Yeah, the bark system has a lot of context it could check. We aren't checking these today, but if we could in the future.

General rumor barks:

Radiation storm
Void readings are off the charts, a storm is brewing.
We are in the eye of the storm, have to move quickly or suffer consequences.
Never I long so much for a star port as in the midst of a storm.
In this storm we must rely on our skill and resolve more than ever.
The void itself tries to purge us with this storm!

Pirate fleet
Many a scum has gathered in this quadrant at once.
The void is teeming with pirate ships in this quadrant.
Has there always been so many pirate sightings in nearby systems?
We are getting many distress signals from merchant ships. Let's be cautious.
The local trade is crumbling under recent pirate onslaught.

Heavy patrol
Tensions are high, the local military is on high alert.
It's never simple to turn easy profits when military starts looming over so diligently.
Right now we are safe from anything but the military fleet.

Xeno fleet
Xenos are stirring, both in the void and on land.
The sightings of Xeno ships are flooding the coms. Stay alert.
The quadrant is awash with Xeno. There is no escaping a battle.
Another wave of Xeno is plaguing both gravs and spacers of this quadrant.

Merchant Fleet
The quadrant is bustling with spice and credits.
The coms are alive with merchants' hails and salutes.
Many merchants have come here to reap profits and will fight dearly for them.

Artifact Find
It's a planet rush as in the days after Exodus!
All kinds of star traders are coming here for easy riches.
A trade in artifacts may not always be legal but it sure is profitable.
The riches may already be unearthed but not yet properly secured.

[Event Horizon]

Ion storm
The system's star is acting up. Harmful for anyone but xeno,
All hands on deck, we are entering the ion storm.
Steer true lest we will add to the orbiting wreckage.

Trade blockade
If we are to land, we'll have to run the blockade first.
Where legal trade comes to a halt, smuggling flourishes.
The space trade may has been hampered but the life goes on for gravs.

Meteor storm
Buckle up and hold tight, meteor field ahead!
I haven't abandoned a life on one rock just to get crushed to death by another!
I hope gunners are ready, there is no avoiding some meteors.

Pirates
Pirates have overrun this system. No avoiding combat if we decide to linger.
Local Faction will pay dearly just to thin down pirates' numbers.
The local military has sure slackened their grip on the system.

Xeno spores
By the void! It's raining xeno!
Xeno spreads like a plague, neither the void nor a planet guarantee shelter.
Xeno take no prisoners. It's either victory or death with them. Or running away.

Quarantined
If we try to land we'll get shot down, no doubt about it.
With the surface locked out there is not much to do but to gallivant on the orbit.
Medicine evolves but so do diseases. Epidemics are bound to happen.

Would be nice to know if I'm moving in the right direction, would really suck to write a few hundred lines just to find out they don't fit in~

[Event Horizon]

Btw I tried to add hints about rumor effects, hope it shows.

You're doing great. Biggest thing is keeping the bark simple, a single clause or thought. You got that down.

[Dr. Spendlove]

Holy cow, a lot of these are really good.
