After listening to my rather eclectic collection of music, a particular piece popped out at me; Leslie Fish's iconic "Banned from Argo."
After a bit of playing around in the Foundry, I found that I wouldn't be able to do a fitting tribute to the song.
Thus, I suggest the following:
As an April Oneth treat for the community, Cryptic could potentially put together a mission whereby the player helps a minor FED or KDF colony to pick up the pieces after the flagship of the fleet (or, really, any ship) has a rather... enthusiastic.. round of shore leave.
The exact details of what madness have transpired need not be made explicit (indeed, they'd likely be funnier if nobody tells the player specifics of what happened), and the precise way in which the player helps the cleanup are best left to the minds of the narrative team. As an alternative, the players could find themselves helping to corral the wayward crews of the flagships, and submitting a... tastefully edited report to San Francisco. Or a very direct explanation; the player's choice.
For ideas as to what might occur, I suggest the aforementioned "Banned from Argo," the WWII movie "Mister Roberts," or any other form of media with a "what happened at that party last night?" plot or segment.
Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.
No I dont want to know how you got that up there.....
As to the suggestion....... I LOVE IT! Maybe post this down in the foundry section and see if those guys want to take this on. People like me who play around in the foundry cant really do much justice to a lot of stuff. But I have some great memories of some of those guys missions. Barclays Daughter comes to mind...

I think the Risians are STILL cleaning up after the Summer Festival. I... I think the fleet I'm in might have had a little too much fun a few times...
