This is where you may want to look for or send rumors about what is going on in the game. I would hope that Randy could send out some good ones from time to time, like highest overall tech level, highest level of income, number of races playing, how many planets blown up so far, etc.

Here is one to start- At least in prior games, Sector AAA had a lot of Ancient Civilizations that could be fought with and gain cool stuff. If you do take over an Ancient Civ that has at least one shipyard and one MC, you can build ships there, even high tech ones, if you know the build codes…
