I know I know but you do agree that it would be better if some of the background was more logical.
Oh well

Great game though

Well if you look at the GMG weapons and the ships they use......(good class 9 weopons and Falcons and Eagles), it wouldn't be hard to imagine they could do some heavy damage to Rheinland. Although I do agree there was that part in the Campaign where you first go through Rheinland space and it seemed at every little tradelane exit there were two Battleships and about 40 more gunboats......

If you have ever read the news network in Rhineland during the single player campaign, you would see that the news is full of propoganda. Titles like "Heroic Chancellor Stands Firm" and "Jacobi A Traitor" are pretty funny to read. Stop by Rhineland and read a few.

During my travels, I have learned that being optimistic doesn't always help, hey, the light at the end of that tunnel may be an oncoming train.

Hi, I'm new but I'll just throw my hand in here...

Yeah, I really liked the news bulletins - made you feel like you were part of the universe. You could see all the propaganda and see how things were escalating into war. There's no benefit in knowing that a Lane Hacker won a surfing championship in LA but it's just part of the so-called 'dynamic universe'.

And then I finished SP and there were no more news bulletins - apart from the ones that had always been there such as "Squatters in Denver" etc. It would have been great if there had been some events that occured over time (e.g. after X hours after finishing SP, there's a disaster or there's a battle between the Corsairs and one of the House Navies). This sort of thing would not only have made it seem as though the universe was actually a moving, changing thing but also would make for some interesting changes in the House systems. Maybe the Corsairs would finally attack Rheinland like the news articles say in the Omega systems and you'd see more gunboats and military patrols for a while. Well, perhaps in the expansion pack eh?

it's a game it doesn't really matter if things don't make total sense

Personally I think believability makes a story enjoyable. If a story has plot holes so big you can drive a Mack truck through it, it ain't a good story.

A lane hacker won the surfing championship on LA?? I thought it was a junker... or maybe I was drunk then...
