Added a line to the Planet template to codify existing standards:
Major Exports: <What other planets frequently buy from this planet. Tourism is an option. Restricted substances require a thorough rationale and potentially some form of development thread, and multiple restricted substances likely would not be approved.>

Added line to Starship Guide 2.0
Light: x0.5 (Sub-Capital Only)
Note: This means that a light laser cannon/light ion cannon is worth half of one laser/ion cannon, for dropships, gunships, fighters, etc. These are normally pretty useless, good for tagging warheads or soft targets but not much else. Think the pneumatic cannon on a T-16 Skyhopper, or each barrel of a Y-Wing's dual ion turret. Small guns, small effect, generally shorter range.
At this time we're not tackling the light turbolaser issue, though those are very rare in canon and only a couple of ships on Chaos have them at all. They'll continue to be handled case-by-case.

Seriously reworked the descriptions of most of the elements of the tech template. Added more examples, clarified many things that have been common practice but never recorded, and paid special attention to Armor, Ranged Weapons, and the Base Template.

This has been added to company tier advancement requests:
Note that each linked thread can only be used to fulfill one of the sub-requirements for each tier level. ( IE: No double-dipping the same thread to fulfill a major project and a contract.)

This line has been added to the Species Creation template.
If your species is genetically engineered or Sithspawn, this is where to add links to the thread(s) where your new species was developed. A development thread, whether of creation or discovery, is required for all genetically engineered/alchemically created life forms being submitted to the Factory.

Added the word 'usually' to this line from the Restricted Items rules:
Each completed objective only counts for one submission.
Rationale: If someone pulls off a large, quality thread mining tons of phrik, they should get to make more out of it than just one knife or whatever. Abuse of this principle will not be tolerated.

Removed this line from the Starship Guide:
Minor factions cannot build stations of any kind, unless they are a part of a major faction.
Rationale: There are already enough rules on what minor factions, corporations and so forth can and can't have in terms of starships. Fit stations within those, and they form a major outlet for creativity. We want to see more personalized stations as story settings.

Added this line to the Starship Guide under Cargo:
If in doubt, or if you don't want to fiddle with numbers, put 'Appropriate for [whatever your Classification and Role are]'.
Added this line to the Starship Guide under Consumables:
If you don't want to fiddle with numbers, put 'Appropriate for [whatever your Classification and Role are]' or another descriptor, such as 'Appropriate for a long military campaign' or 'Appropriate for long-term exploration.'
Added this line to the Starship Guide under Speed:
It is acceptable to separate speed and maneuverability, but in nearly all cases the speed and maneuverability should be quite close to each other, and there should be a good reason for the split.
