I’ve said it many times. I’m more in love with the idea of EVE Online than the actual game play I experience. When I’m in “that” particular mood, drifting among the stars is relaxing and inspiring. For me it's undefinable but there’s some sexy about EVE. Before I played the game, I'd read a good bit of EVE fiction and lore. In preparation for the 9th expansion, Empyrean Age, I purchased and read the companion novel.
The first time I played Star Trek Online I recall wishing that EVE were a combination of what I liked in STO and the best of EVE. I wanted an avatar in EVE. I wanted space stations with players scurrying around. I wanted to walk up to a player or corporation owned kiosk to purchase goods. Maybe even see fights break out amongst rivals. I wanted to fly my ship, not point and click to navigate. More than any of that, I wanted the PVE missions amped up +100 - more story driven and representative of the amazing wealth of lore and player history. But that’s not EVE Online and STO had too many things I disliked to be its replacement.
Maybe this Time
Based on what I’ve read and seen, I believe Star Citizen might be the combination of features that will suit me better in a massive space sim title. On the surface, it’s promising to have the things I liked in STO and wished were in EVE instead. At the very least, it will have a single player campaign to deliver a solo “leveling” experience that is story driven and will have some impact on my character out in the persistent world. For that piece alone, I’d pay the box price. There’s also a ton of lore and serialized fiction being pumped out to read, something I enjoy greatly. It’s the kind of content that can keep me interested for quite some time, as long as the quality holds.

Here is the audio version of the Star Citizen's Writer's Guide Part Two. I hope you enjoy. I'm still finding the extremely long sentences and SC specific vernacular a bit tongue twisting at times but getting used to it.
Part Two posted on the RSI website included a timeline which I will record as a separate episode so it can be easily replayed alone.

Whether you're a backer, fan or innocent bystander, I think you'll find the activity surrounding Star Citizen interesting and newsworthy. I'm a recent backer. While reading through the metric ton of content on the RSI website, I ran across the Star Citizen's Writer's Guide. Although it's designed to support people interested in writing fan fiction for the SC universe, I found it to be a great resource for lore and back story. While I enjoy the serialized fiction, I gravitated more toward this direct approach and may even pen some shorts myself.
The guides are a daunting amount of information to remember when constructing a story that satisfies the published canon. I figured an audio version would be a welcomed addition. I will be recording all of the current installments, as well as any new ones that are introduced.
It will take me several days to get the 13 existing posted guides recorded. I will post them as they are completed. Hopefully, by this time next week I'll have made most, if not all, of them available.
