Doing the acquisitions for the Everest as part of the story certainly could be fun... and it would give us more to do... and fleshing out how we actually go about buying stuff a bit further would give us some depth to what has been, so far, a rather abstract game mechanic... (with the exception of Thraxius's entertaining tales of his cybernetic acquisitions aboard the Aquirre.)  I expect Glyphstone's side plot would be entertaining, and certainly something different.<br/><br/>Of course, there is no harm in sticking to the classics... and the epic tale of exploration and conquest in the great beyond rarely fails to entertain.  But either way is good.
