Elite History
First played Elite on the BBC-B a couple of decades ago, and have periodically experienced yearnings for it. While EVE:Online came close to scratching that itch, nothing really succeeded until Oolite.
Works in progress
Coming to a galaxy near you, soon: the Yakuza. Clan Otaku will be pirating their way through Oolite. Kill a few shatei and you'll draw the attention of their wakashu. Bump enough wakashu off, and you will most likely be paid a visit by the system shateigashira. Sooner or later, you will be desperately hunting the location of the Otaku Oyabun: Chop off the head, and the clan will surely die, won't it?
I envision yakuza.oxp introducing several new ships and an extensive parallel plot arc climaxing at a showdown with the Oyabun and his solar yacht. Of course, when you kill the oyabun, one of his kobun may step into his place, and you could find yourself the target of a blood feud. (a.k.a. a sequel)
For now, here are some previews of the "Tengu" (a pirate / escort ship), and the Oyabun's "Peacock" solar yacht:
