The new splash screen, with the neutron star, is a real hit! Sometimes, Hazeron gets it so right you actually have to stop and think about it for a minute.
I, too, am so excited by the thought of a working story engine, however far off it may be. As for the knotty question of balancing rewards, there should be some way to require the empire "sponsoring" the story to put the rewards into a protected pot, rather than generating them out of thin air. If the pot is empty, it will warn you before you accept the job. If there's enough to reward a success, the reward is reserved for you for a certain amount of time.
