Demonstration finish

Simply, the idea I am proposing is a thread which would list all factions (including those without official player factions). GMG, KNF, RM, Order, BHG, Nomads, IC, Bowex, IMG etc etc etc etc.

Under each faction, you can find out what is currently fun to do and how you can get a ship involved quickly.

The problems is veteran players lurk the forums because they have fond memories of their time here but they don't log in.

The thread would be a combination of both information gathering (to make rejoining the mod easier) and also inspiring.

I'm a vet. I don't play. I only logged back on the forums yesterday. Can't recall when I last did.

I loved smuggling Cardamine from Malta to Liberty... I don't even know if thats a thing anymore?

I don't know what systems still exist? Do we still even have guard factions? I don't know...

Am I going to research the answers to the million questions I have? No, I've got other stuff to do, it's a Thursday evening.

The thread would show a snapshot of the mod. The best bits. The key changes. I can then have at least some of my questions answered and that'll hopefully inspire me to reinstall the mod.

I appreciate the following problems:

Problem 1. Who will maintain this?
There is only a few lines within each faction. It isn't long to do. It can be a responsibility for factions leaders. Where there is no faction leader, members of the community can pitch in.

Problem 2. Why list information such as the best trade routes? People should go out and discover it themselves
We have a dwindling community. It's better to now make it as easy as possible for people to enjoy the best of this mod to raise player count. The more effort required to get back into this mod, the less veterans will take the leap.

What do you guys think of this idea?
