Have you already determined what will be required for a player to be entered into the Galactipedia? For example, will the discovery of a new jump point, planet, or animal species get someone in? What about when a player kills or captures an infamous pirate? How famous would that pirate have to be?asked by AragornBH

Now, this is a complex question, because the determination of whether something is super influential is kind of fuzzy, it's like, relevance and something that comes up again on Wikipedia, there's so many arguments about 'that's not relevant, oh no that is relevant', but it sometimes gets articles taken down, but in simple terms, yes, the discovery of a jump-point, planet, or an animal would absolutely merit entry in the galactapedia. Important discoveries, that sort of thing, that's definitely worth reporting. As far as the pirate question is concerned, the pirate would have to be pretty famous, I mean, if you take down a minor pirate, someone who hasn't made much waves, that's definitely an interesting thing for your character to do, but if the pirate isn't well known, then I would say that it most likely wouldn't be recorded, but again this is just... it, there's so many other factors that come into play like, how many systems has that pirate raided? have they raided any systems? How many people have they attacked? It's the difference between taking down a criminal who's shoplifting and someone on the FBI's top 40 most wanted list.

I know from a Pirates perspective, and even when the lore builder articles were done last year, the year before, there was a request for people to submit different pirate themed organizations, and one of the parameters for that was to realise the context, and realize how big the Empire is, and that when you are creating your own pirate character organization, most likely you won't be able to have a grip over the entire Empire, because if that happens the weight of the 'Verse would literally come down upon you. So, at this point, the pirate system is still something that, you're right, there's not gonna be many big big dogs for you to go out there hunting down, not to say that someday we won't create one, and if we do do that, if something happened with that, we might be able to get you in there, but as of right now, yeah. It would heavily depend on the circumstance, that's for sure.

Absolutely. And, yeah, just like anything in history, you need to consider how it impacts everything else, I suppose.

That was a good thing to consider.

Yes.

Yeah.
