There is a random name for ships "Don't stop until C"
Interesting enough name, but what i love about it is it is accidentally (or maybe purposely) a pun about the controls. The C key brings your ship to a halt, but is also the speed of light.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.

Ahh. well if you'd left it mysterious i was willing to believe it was a stealth pun. At any rate it's a happy accidental pun.

I love the quotes from the Starlight Cabal.
Some of those are brilliant. I got ambushed by a captain who was wearing nothing but a massive gold chain on his neck. And he had 4 Starlight Auroras.

The story of The Last Hurrah mission. It's very powerful and by the end of it I've got tears welling up.

Spoiler

that one gets me every time
It's kind of sad, to be honest. It feels like everyone's hoping that perhaps, maybe, just this once, the gate will be online.
