Add an "advice" module, giving useful information on the BBS.
For now, the advice/rumour/tale is specific to the station. Thinking is: on that particular station someone lives, or some meme/information/rumour has taken hold, and in the spirit of sharing this is freely posted on the BBS. The advice is some "lore" or information that adds useful information on how to play the game, or things to discover, or make use of in game play. Ideally, this information would "leak" from some other more relaxed social setting, like a bar, from more experienced pilots / bartender.master
