Besides the text regarding SKINS, I would like to see more DUST lore period.
One aspect of lore I would like to see is Chronicles. Perhaps some detailing Mordu's Private Trials and Battle for Caldari Prime. Perhaps some detailing the inception of the "Immortals" long past the opening video. We were found in those stasis capsules, as shown in the video seen whenever you first boot up the game for the very first time, and in game at the bottom of the menu. How did we get put there?
I don't see DUST Chronicles being all that hard to accomplish, especially since I don't see it taking up much RAM or memory, It could be made into another tab on the menu. I would say next to the Instructions tab, but nobody ever looks there, except maybe to watch the video that brings me to tears every time.
[I am reserving this for further edits, because at the moment, I can not think of all the things lore-wise that I would love to see implemented.]

I don't see DUST Chronicles in-game being all that hard to accomplish, especially since I don't see it taking up much RAM or memory, It could be made into another tab on the menu. I would say next to the Instructions tab, but nobody ever looks there, except maybe to watch the video that brings me to tears every time. I want to see more out-of-game, but maybe only a few can be put in-game, like the Inception of the Immortals. [I am reserving this for further edits, because at the moment, I can not think of all the things lore-wise that I would love to see implemented.] EDIT 1: THIS is the DUST Chronicles. There is barely any, there are only 11 entires - where EVE has well into the hundreds. There are even in-game corporations that have made it into EVE Lore, have their own Chronicles too I believe. We need this. I also do want to see lore-based descriptions for the SKINs, but I want to see this more. The issue with getting these written is that you basically need an author to write it and then have the content vetted by the ISD Mercury Team (I think....they deal with that sort of thing) who then would submit it to CCP who would then vet it even more thoroughly before accepting it a canon. Simply put you cannot just churn out crap and expect it to make the grade.
I am pretty sure we can find somebody willing to write it all up. Don't you agree that we do need some recognition? That we need this kind of lore? Hell, CCP could take a crack at the stuff that You, Raven, Breakin, Spade and Ben do. There is some literature written up right there. CCP Rattati has already expressed interest in our ideas on lore before, I am pretty sure it can be done.
Hell, I may even write up some myself.

CCP doesn't have to go crazy making new assets, just give us some text and an agenda and let us pick sides for the duration.
Hell they could be their own events.
E.G
Amarr + Caldari Assault on Minmatar + Gallente outlying systems. Give us a bit of lore about the who and the why's and then let us pick a side or something I dont know. It is probably best to start moving away from Allied thinking as I suspect very very soon that the four factions are going to start fighting against each other.
I hope it is going to be another event like Battle for Caldari Prime.

I hope it is going to be another event like Battle for Caldari Prime. I doubt it. Caldari Prime took eight months to organize and it took both teams working cohesively to make happen. For what was only a few hours, that is an insane amount of dev budget to utilize.
True, but this time they know better, at least i hope.
I can see the Amarr going on a crusade to avenge the Empress, or like you said, all factions rampaging each other. I want an event like Prime, as in, we can actually play in it. Not just, "oh yea, this just happened, mmhm, yeap, we are going to **** you and let just the capsuleers do it; you are going to just be stuck doing same ol same old. Silly dust bunny, events are for those that matter"
BFCP may have been a wash, but that doesn't mean that it should be the end of events like those.

Is there not something else you could be wasting your time with?
What I'm trying to say is, for example 'a medium minmitar skin' does not need a 500 word description when an accurate description for it would be 'a dull uninteresting brown skin for minmitar medium suits'
Nice attempt, straight out of the IWS school of pointlessness though... Aeon's actually more polite than I am, so I'll say it. This piece of feedback is about as useful as a football bat.
No, it is about as useful as a one legged pig in a horse race.

So we should just maintain the status quo and be accepting of this total lack of solid information? Even though the entire point of this thread is to explore ways of filling in these blanks? Even though a volunteer DUST lore team working with CCP Mercury is a very rational (and most importantly free) option to help create better lore and immersion?
Sorry, but I can't accept that. I really do think that New Eden deserves better, and I know plenty of people that would be overjoyed to help make what I suggest a reality.
We could just hit the backstage forums and skype and do that **** ourselves..... y'know establish a relatively believable baseline and capabilities for our kind as well as the more generic technological aspects such as clone maintenance, etc. Perhaps if we do a good enough job we can submit it to Mercury who can take it from there.
It would be nice to revive the DUST side of Backstage, since it is basically dead.

info panel on every Faction, the main Houses/Corporations within a Faction,
History/tidbits about famous humans/mercs in New Eden (Tibus, etc)
Weapons/Gear
New Eden Ships
New Eden Planets of interest
This would just be a paragraph, not necessarily with a lot of graphics.
And a tab for existing chronicles?
