So we're in phase 3 of CW/Faction play and though there are a number of new features there are still lots of planets without any "Detailed Information" text. Now I can understand that not all the planets need the fluff, but at least all of the Faction Capitals and Specials(i.e. SARNA) should have this extra detail.

I think adding the lore fluff to more planets should be easily achievable as it is only a brief amount of text, the fiction of which has already been written. The sense of extra depth the text could add to MWO would be much greater than the work required to implement it.

I've always found it jarring that almost any planet I click on has "no information available". They have planetary data readily available from SARNA.net and 30 years of BattleTech. Same with mechs, equipment and factions, a little bit of lore and background would go a long way.
I bet plenty of dedicated loreheads in the community would jump on a chance to help buff the game universe - even for free.
