Datashards.

Addressed to:


We're please to announce the release of player-writeable datashards! Datashards serve as a way of recording and sharing larger quantities of information. It might be some prose, it might be a hit list of people you need to stab in the face - the possibilities are endless!

HELP DATASHARDS contains all of the information about using this system.

Secondly, we're pleased to announce Repositories, which serve as a curated collection of datashards within a Faction or Dynasty.

HELP REPOSITORIES has all of the details of this element of the system.

There are two new org position powers - DATASHARDS and REPOSITORIES, with the former being the ability for people to view datashards in the Org's repositories, and the latter, the power to curate and manipulate the org's repositories. We've added DATASHARDS to the default powerset of each faction. REPOSITORIES have been added to the paperpusher position in Scatterhome, but other Factions will want to assign it to wherever it suits in their org.

Blank datashards, for physically distributing your manifestos, are available in many of the common supply mobshops across the sector.

As a small side note: Dynasty power unlocks have changed as a result of this addition. Accounts has moved down from 15 to 12, and Repositories has been added at 15.

Enjoy!
