Wouldn't it be amazing to have Space Waves Radio player/career driven with factual live updates on what's happening with conflicts or commodities, or even specials? This could be system wide with many operators across the Persistent Universe, or just one group with time slots handling the lot. End product will be when you tune in, you have live broadcast with ads, announcements, sourced either from players or system generated, music and just rambling on for conversation to keep you entertained for those long trips or jobs. Wouldn't be complete without ratings also, who has the best show.asked by Zaciroll

TL;DRA player-driven live radio show is not expected at initial launch, but Travis Day has heard Chris Roberts talk about the idea, says a content management system would be needed, and supports it.

That's kind of a fun idea. I'd like to be the Michael Savage, fear-mongering about alien races or the imperator or something.

The reason why I liked this question is it's kind of an ongoing thing, almost a pet project of mine in a way. My personal goal, if the game will allow me, is to take an 890 jump and gut in the inside, turning it into a traveling nightclub, with my DJ character floating around in a DJ booth and if we have the tech to stream though it or whatever. Perhaps every year, or every week it goes from on system to another, a large circuit. Every time it comes back around, it's a big media deal, and everybody buys tickets and parties while its there.

I always wanted to be like Lord British, cruising around as an advocacy agent, answering peoples questions and solving problems. Basically just answering CS tickets in game. I guess I could just get a job in CS, for some reason that's really appealing to me.

I could sell ad space, to fund the trip through the stars...

So the radio show, probably not on initial launch, but I have heard CR talk about player driven live radio stuff. It does come back to the whole content management thing though, we'll have to have some sort of system in place, but I'm totally on board with the idea.
