I've appointed Friday to be the storyline lead for 4.87. He is responsible for defining the story line and required system/faction changes to support this. I still retain veto on storyline changes and reserve the right to exercise this although it will have to be an unusual situation for this to happen.
Friday is ready and waiting for your input but please remember he is only human and almost certainly will not be able to answer every PM. He, in conjunction with other team members, will have to balance your ideas with the needs of other groups and what is feasible to develop. Some preference will be given to ideas that have been publicly discussed on the forum as these tend to be better developed and better accepted by the community.
You'll hear more from Friday to solicit community input so that the 4.87 final draft story line can be approved. Please wait until he posts before PMing him with interesting ideas.

Now Cannon is keen to make a move on 4.87, so a deadline is being imposed on story submissions.

A fair amount of work has already been done towards the 4.87 story. At the end of the month, everything will be edited and distilled into material to be used for system editing.
