Sci-Fi - or, as it should more properly be known, Sciene Fiction.
Swo-So - Swords and Sorcery
FanFic - Fantasy Fiction
Ghosts are NOT science fiction. Ghosts are somewhere between Swo-So and FanFic - at least at this point in time based upon the measurable technology that we have.
That does NOT mean that I don't believe that ghosts do not exist - my personal view is that they are extra-dimensional beings who are capable of slipping the bonds between where they should be and where we are, at least slightly. This perspective is also based upon various things that I have personally done (such as actually physically dying on the operating table, along with other 'para-normal' experiments) along with actually encountering 'ghosts' in an old hospital. (Trust me - if you want to find a ghost nowadays, the BEST place is to find an old Catholic hospital that's been around 75 years or more - I can almost guarantee you'll run into weird things there.)
I wish you lot the best and hope you keep on roleplaying as you do. Let all these whiners scream and rant all they like, this server is meant for real roleplay and not little children that want to control the RP of all others.
"War. War never changes. Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything, from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage."

That is the attitude that kills the server. There is a difinitve REAL RP, ANd Guess what? Running around in battleships Pewing EVeryone is not RP.Sorry, come up with a better argument next time
All right, not gonna comment on the Ghost aspect too much here, but would like to point out a couple of things that should be changed and / or fixed asap:
Faction standings, you like almost nothing for Nuetral or Unfriendly relations. You show yourself to be either Hostile or Friendly to select groups. There are a lot more of them out there and you really need to take the time to detail more faction standings as a whole.
You also deliberately mention an attack on teh Freeports, yet have your standing to teh Zoners as nuetral. That I think is completely contradictory, as knowing the Zoners, they would not tolerate that and mark you as an Enemy to be shot down.
I know you have had interactions with several of the Harvesters Faction, yet make no mention of them in your information or as a standing. That needs to be changed. Considering the nature of how you communicate, you and any other Ghost would be in the same situation the Keepers are, completely unable to make your "thoughts" known to the Machine mind. Granted we can not dictate other AI's reaction to you, but I would think the mind of a machine would be something a Ghost would not be able to influance or speak with.
You list Battleships as your only ship. Sorry mate, that just can not fly with any faction group. You need more ships to deal with whats out there. You need to have various kinds otherwise you will be simply labled as a Cap Whore group and soon no one would want to deal with you.
I've seen the Speigle name assassiated with more than just one ship. If in fact its keeping with your desription here, then that second ship of his would also be a "Ghost" ship, correct?
Your a good pilot on that Osirus, much to my fustration, but would ask one last thing. If you are in combat, that little stunt of putting you nose right under mine or another Cap be curtailed, that comes really damn close to the line of Deliberate Ram when you prevent some one from moving their ship freely by making it so they can not line up on you in combat.

That's all I can think of for now.
All the faction hostilities i have not bothered to fix yet as this is still being constructed. on the Skills front Cinder mate whatever ramming thing your talking about i have no idea?
I know I have given you knowledge on battleship loadouts as you knew Nothing before !
I would also suggest getting your manuervres in form too, Just because you have no thruster does not mean you cannot fly like a fighter!

Keep it going
Ghosts are fantasy. If we start adding fantasy to a sci fi game, what's next? Demons? A bunch of Legolas wannabe Elves? Magic powers?
Real roleplay has to be in context with the setting it's in. I don't care for ghosts in sci fi games. There are so many options which way you can roleplay something in this game it offers more choices than any MMO. To start adding ghosts is just cheesy, and doesn't belong in a sci fi game. Not only this idea, but any idea involving ghosts. If some were approved that's fine, its not up to me. I don't have to like it. But I also don't have to play along with it, I will avoid the systems they're in.
Ive been thinking a home for our ships must be a place far from all civilizations, I was thinking Omicron Lost where all the Lost Souls go could be a Haunted Underworld system????

But theres no where to dock there?
Darn it, no.
That's a serious drawback, as there's nowhere to poop if ya need to.
But if you can hold it between trips to the 7/11 that would actually be an ideal wonder of an underworld.
