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. Two rival clans, the Bunkakei and Taikukei will be pirating their way through Oolite. Kill a few of one clan's shatei and you'll draw the attention of their wakashu... but also make the other clan happy. Bump enough wakashu off, and you will most likely be paid a visit by the system shateigashira, looking for your head. Sooner or later, you will be desperately hunting the location of the clan Oyabun: Chop off the head, and the clan will surely die, won't it?
net.ajnewman.yakuza.oxp will introduce several new ships and a pair of factions providing a plot arc that will climax at a showdown with a clan 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 Bunkakei "Tengu" (a pirate / escort ship), and the Bunkakei Oyabun's "Peacock" solar yacht:
