What about adding tons more ship logs and making them slightly more common? Then there would be universe building lore in place for the future and give explorers something else to scrounge for.
They could also be spawned specifically for questslines (which is something that I believe I saw in some "eventual features list" somewhere)
How cool would it be to pick up a log, have that log spawn a planet or a space station in a nearby sector, and play out a scenario while finding more logs that clue you in on what happened before, or people that tell you what's going on. All because you picked up a log.
Right?
I've taken the liberty of writing up an example storyline in the form of a crews' logs.
(My degree is in screenwriting so this is a little out of my wheelhouse/I rushed the ending because it was getting a bit long for an example)
Captain Harven and Crew Logs
(fair warning - it's around 2300 words)
It's not in the right format to be used in that game, and I'm pretty sure that logs are supposed to be quite a bit smaller than I went for. Anyway, it's just an example.
I may write more of them for kicks.

Captain Harven's Log – Stardate 1457.13
I have waited long enough. Earlier today I hired a few trusted officers that I knew from my Academy days, all those years ago, and have gone forward with conscripting a crew.
All they have been told is that we are bound for a mineral rich planet.
A half-truth, if that.
The planet in question is Havenshei; the plant of my birth… and I fear that it has only become more dangerous since I left as a child.
---
Captain Harven’s Log – Stardate 1457.15
Only twice have I ever felt true fear.
Once in the military, when we were surrounded and death was all but a certainty.
The other I have relived every night since. When the creatures took my father and all I could do was cower in the corner with my mother, waiting for dawn, when they would flee.
Their claws scratched at our door like… it was as though I was beyond hearing; I could feel the evil beyond the door.
I was seven.
Tomorrow morning I will begin my return.

Chief Navigator Erin's Log - Stardate 1457.16
This ship’s in a fine condition, if I do say so myself, for an old Frigate from the wars anyway. The Navigation systems seem to be intact and Pavec says the engines purr like kittens.
I’m assumin’ that’s a good thing.
Captain Harven, on the other hand, hasn’t yet given me coordinates or a sector to target yet. I trust the man to death, but we’re set to leave within the hour, and I need my heading.
---
Chief Engineer Pavec’s Log – Stardate 1457.16
I find it hard to believe that this old bucket is in as good a shape as it is. The thrusters look as good as new and the xm3.4 clusters are almost perfect.
Captain Harven calls her the “Avengeance.”
He must have done well for himself after the war; and if what I’ve heard about our goal is right… well, we’ll all be doing well pretty soon.
---
Weapons Officer Karner’s Log – Stardate 1457.16
The weapon lockers are stocked and locked. But why?
This mission isn’t what is seems. Captain Harven says we’re going to some small uninhabited world for a few expensive rocks, but there’s Antimatter Cannons hidden among the salvage lasers and enough D1000 to destroy a planet. I’m starting to worry that we’re not getting those rocks for free.
That we’re taking them.
---
Captain Harven’s Log – Stardate 1457.16
I would like to think that I remember the way home after all these years, but I only remember a few stars and planets.
The years have not been kind to me, but I swear that I will see the Havenshei sunrise once more and finish what my family started.
I do not know what I’ll tell Erin, but the navigator must be told where to navigate.

Chief Navigator Erin’s Log – Stardate 1457.18
“Proceed towards Arrnii 5.” Those where Captain Harven’s instructions when I asked my heading.
I think he’s playin’ this trip a little close to the vest. When I asked why, he said, “Because I remember fleeing in its light.” He wouldn’t say who he was fleein,’ and if the Avengeance weren’t such a fine vessel to navigate, I’d have already left.
In fact, I wish I had.
---
Weapons Officer Karner’s Log – Stardate 1457.19
Yesterday I decided that candor was my best option and asked Captain Harven if the ship was loaded up because the planet we’re headed to needs taking.
He told me that he owned the planet, and that it was uninhabited; but he also said that taking it might be a necessity. There was anger in those words and all this secrecy isn’t good for the crew.
If this mission starts to last too long I’ll need to take precautions.
---
Captain Harven’s Log – Stardate 1457.20
When my family settled Havenshei they never stopped to think where the mineral ore came from. They simply mined it.
It wasn’t until they broke through to a hidden cavern that they realized the minerals weren’t minerals at all. They were the bones of the monsters in the darkness. It was three days later that my mother and I escaped.
Of the twenty that lived in Havenshei, we were the only two that could. I will not be coming back unprepared.
---
Chief Navigator Erin’s Log – Stardate 1457.33
We passed by Arrnii 5 this morning and when I asked Captain Harven where our next random point-of-reference was he starred out the window of the bridge for close on twenty minutes before pointin’ at another star and sayin’, “We’re more there half-way there.”
Me and Pavec agree that Harven’s lost it. He’s not the same man we knew from Academy.
---
Chief Engineer Pavec’s Log – Stardate 14.57.33
Erin told me about the Captain’s unconventional nav-points and we both agree that he’s a couple cables short of a coil.
But, on my own, I think that he’s just following unconventional instructions. This planet we’re looking for might be richer than I thought. I just gotta make sure that I’m one of the few that’s richer for it.
And I’ll need some protection.
---
Weapons Officer Karner’s Log – Stardate 1457.34
The crew’s been getting more restless by the day and I think that it’s time I prepared for certain eventualities.
Last night I went to the weapons lockers to do an inventory and ten guns were missing. They were there two days ago, so whatever’s happening is recent. I took two guns for myself, just in case, then recorded the theft and reported it to Captain Harven.
He was significantly under-concerned. He’s far too fixated on that mysterious plant.
---
Captain Harven’s Log – Stardate 1457.34
There seems to be a brewing dissent among the crew.
Weapons have been stolen and tension has been mounting to a boiling point as we inch closer to our goal. I can only hope that we reach latter before the former destroys us all.
At the very least I can trust Weapons Officer Karner and his security staff, but they alone cannot hold back the rest of the crew, if it comes to that. Or should I say, “when?”

Captain Harven’s Log – Stardate 1457.39
The warning lights have lit and there is a chemical warning echoing through the ship.
I maintained The Avengeance myself from the day that I bought it from the chopping block to the start of this venture, and there is no fathomable way that the atmosphere of the ship was compromised by mechanical error.
There is purpose in this chaos. If I die before we reach Havenshei, there is nothing that will prepare them for what they will face; and if that is the case, then let the darkness take them.
---
Weapons Officer Karner’s Log – Stardate 1457.39
Engineering isn’t responding.
They’re either dead or this is a mutiny. Captain Harven’s convinced it’s the latter. I’ve confined him to his quarters with a few guards for his protection, just in case. Whatever’s happening, we need to shut the leak from Engineering.
I’ll handle it personally.
---
Chief Engineer Pavec’s Log – Stardate 1457.39
There’s no way this goes off without a hitch, but if Erin and the boys take out most of the security force and I can get to the Captain… well, then I can win the rest of the crew over with the promise of riches.
This ol’ boat’s as good as ours.
---
Chief Navigator Erin’s Log – Stardate 1457.39
I hate these oxygen masks; they put weird lines on yer face. Course without them the gas would get me.
I can’t decide if that’s a decent trade.
So long as we get the jump on whoever comes down here first I don’t I care. Pavec better be spot on with this plan. I’m not followin’ Captain Harven another meter.

Weapons Officer Karner’s Log – Stardate 1457.40
I don’t know what I like least. That we’re going to crash into a planet, or that Pavec controls the Bridge.
Well… at least the fighting finally stopped.
When we went down to Engineering to check out the leak they fired on us. It was the engineers that took the guns, and Erin was with them. I called reinforcements and a war started.
Then a storage container of D1000 missiles was hit and we suddenly had a really good view of space. I lost most of my men and barely made it behind the Plex Door in time.
Lucky isn’t the word.
---
Chief Engineer Pavec’s Log – Stardate 1457.40
Erin’s gone, and so are a few of my boys… But he managed to take most of the security force with him and, for that, my hat goes off to him.
I’ll knock back an extra for him when I come home rich. As luck would have it we’re gonna crash into the planet that Harven was aiming for. His directions were better than we thought.
The shields should take most of the hit, and we’ve got enough life pods to take a good haul. I finally got him to talk, but it seemed too easy. He dies on Havenshei. Karner too, when I find him.
---
Weapons Officer Karner’s Log – Stardate 1457.41
I found Captain Harven with Warrant Officer Nilson in a lower level Med-bay.
Unfortunately he only found the Captain after Pavec had finished his interrogation. Nilson hid him here for safety, but it doesn’t look good.
Pavec did a number on the Captain and it’s only the machines that are keeping him alive. I can see the planet out the window. Not too long till we have to brace for impact.
---
Chief Engineer Pavec’s Log – Stardate 1457.41
Havenshei’s gaining fast and so’s my fortune. It’ll be night by the time we hit, but that shouldn’t be a problem; Harven said the stuff glows and it’s practically pushing to the surface.
Speaking of Harven, we lost track of him. Probably Karner, but I’ve got other things on my mind.
On to wealth and glory.

I started hearing the screams soon after.
They’ve stopped now and I’ll see if there are any survivors in the morning.
Why would anybody come back to a place like this?
---
Chief Engineer Pavec’s Log – Stardate 1457.42
They came when we settled into mining.
Whatever they are; I never even saw them! They were in the darkness.
They were the darkness… My boys are dead.
All of them.
I’m hiding in some old mining settlement and I found the name “Harven” on some old files.
Why would he come back here if he knew? Did he want this?
I can’t think with all the scratching! I won’t die here!
---
Weapons Officer Karner’s Log – Stardate 1457.43
Just before dawn Captain Harven woke up again.
He knew he was dying and he wanted to see the Havenshei sunrise one last time. At dawn I carried him out of the ship, to watch it, while the monsters scurried back to their caves. The Captain died at its peak and it was a beautiful sunrise.
I buried him beside his family home.
Pavec’s body was two meters from the ship’s door; he almost made it back alive.
I figured out why The Captain came back here. Revenge. That’s what the D1000 was for, and there was still enough left to do the job.
I rigged the ship to blow, then got in an escape pod with the last two security officers and I won’t be looking back.
Only hell lies behind us.

It's not in the right format to be used in that game, and I'm pretty sure that logs are supposed to be quite a bit smaller than I went for. Anyway, it's just an example.
I may write more of them for kicks.
