Hey guys.
I am Mystical Potato (no relation to Joe Satriani, though I do fly in a blue dream sometimes

), and I am part of the writing team for the Hyper MMO. I'm an experienced copywriter and editor, and I've also published a sci-fi novelette a couple of years ago (sold a few copies, but I've a nagging suspicion that my mum was responsible for most of the purchases).
Needless to say, we are aiming at creating a universe that is at once rich, exciting and beautiful; a universe that will hopefully keep the average bear entertained for years.
We will be developing the plot and lore meticulously from the ground up, so it will be a challenging project. Hyper community members are most welcomed to contribute their ideas (especially those that can wear Princess Leia's slave costume well

), so don't be shy.
Drop by at the Hyper official forum and say hello. Bring some beers though. No one likes empty-handed guests.

Great - I am fan of these kind of games, I´ve even played Elite for months on old ZX Spectrum clone long time ago, so I am looking forward to this (and hoarding HYPERs). On the other hand I know how hard it is to balance all that things, so it´ll be nice to have advices from some pro dev of some great title, like Sins of a Solar Empire for example.
