That would be a close tie between science and religion for me but I'd have to go with religion. Science in PS seems to bear far more similarities to RL than religion does.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

It's always a close tie between science and religion, isn't it? :)

If I could I'd tag off practically all these options but sadly I can only pick one.

I chose "More crafting options" because it would have the biggest impact on the gameplay in my opinion. Allowing us players to craft things, preferably things that are hard or impossible to get elsewhere would breathe new life into the economy and move the emphasis away from combat.

Now that I look over and think about it I don't think that GM events should be in there. That, I would have thought, is a secondary thing that is based upon the settings already made and not something that should take priority over the rest.

I agree with more crafting options.  I'd like to see a larger, more interesting economy.  It would lead to formations of actual guilds lending themselves to helping that economy (i.e. Miner's Guilds, Blacksmith's Guilds, Refiner's Guilds, etc.), and with many of the guilds I've seen, they're either: groups of friends, based on combat/protection, or general all around economy stuff, not much focus.  (Note, nothing against those guilds, I just want to be able to go on strike  ;D)

Most of the other things can be assisted by the community.  Though history and religion and such can become hotly debated, at least that then makes them interesting.  Players can offer NPC phrases.

Heck, I'd like a top three.  Crafting, NPCs, and Mobs. 

I want someone to craft me a spear out of an ulbernaut arm claw thing.

I personally find issues like law (civil, criminal) and law enforcement, civil rights and duties of citizens and the whole political system of particular importance for players to RP consistently within yliakum's society. That's where my vote goes.

Things like law enforcement require mechs to support them but we could give NPC guards automated lines that refer to laws like "Sheathe your weapons in town, citizen" or "Obey the law" and kick in as one passes by them.

I should state here that I only mean events run cooperatively between settings and the gm team. Not typical GM events.

That makes more sense. Thank you for the clarification.

Pending the next restart, some of the guards in Hydlaa will do just that.

After reading Zan's comment I was sure I wanted more crafting options too. Then I thought of all the bugs that might potentially bring that the bug testers have to check out. And then I thought that would definitely be worth it.
So I vote for all the food and drink stuff we invented in a thread in development forum a while ago :)

Please more votes, as compelling as old arguments are the polls actually give us some direction.

Political system...we need it badly. ;(

Crafting options? That's ONE profession...broken into smaller pieces. I really don't think it should be the first to come, we need to expand into more than just crafting things. =/
