As for a potential suggestion to future content perhaps:
I hád hoped, as every one of the later patches included some new Equipment(Hellhammer laser, Cargo-expanders, Hull plating..)..to also see a Missile Launcher- Mark 3 by now? 'Underverse Missile Pod', which would hold EIGHT Torpedo's instead of the 6? And additonally can hold 6 Underverse Effectors too ofcourse!
And even more far-fetched could perhaps be the upgrading of the entire Ship's Reactor, at a high expense through either the Voronians, as they are the most advanced? Or perhaps the Drengar? ..i'd lean towards Voron, as they are to receive a 'special PAtch with a Mission'? ..A stronger Reactor that would perhaps allow a secondary Laser weapon?(Dual Fire mode? Using the Multiverse Pod allows a pretty awesome experience in replaying the game with all the awesome upgrades already.. some of which are already a bit over the top, so why not go full tilt on it anyway?)
An Underverse Hyperdrive? As a MArk III version? Equipped with 6 Underverse Effectors, the Voron BEacon Icon in the top-left of the interface would alter into a dírect menu to jump to ány System, from any location, using the Underverse itself, without the need of a Jumpgate, as long as the player has áccessed that System before?(would render the Voron Gate useless?.. N, the Gate's signal would also allow the player to jump back to the Base with that!)
as a PS in the regard to the Base: how about that Shield Generator and Turret-expension for the Base... and the Interior? ^^
And as a final 'idea'... the Assimilator Boss in the final System... this was programmed to be invulnerable, i know but...would it be an idea to actually make this Boss 'defeatable', and make it drop an 'Assimilator Unit', which could be utilized by Nimhe on Tech level 40+ An Auto Bot creator? As long as the player keeps enough Bot Parts and upgrades in stock, a little menu with Nimhe on which type of Bot, Shell, and Specialisations it would automatically assemble?... On a 1-2 day timeframe ofcourse. Perhaps this could also fit into the story of the Clsoed down Bot-store in Iltari Station: Purchase of an additional ARgus Mk-II Unit to install there, so higher-IQ Bots can be kept in check by that? So next to the regular Arcades, the player can create his OWN Arcade?(Or did i miss something on how to get this opened, or something? Havent figured that out.. Do tell!)
Tbf, the Game could well enough expand beyond the current ending: with the Waygate being a 'door' from the known content, to the 'Sol System', Rigel System(Seraphine's homeworld?), and perhaps a bit more... Perhaps we could finally meet those mysetrious Lizard People from Zebulon too? The Valkorian System(T'Riss) is still an option too. Or Nimhe's origins, as she's a Syrax?...Where's she from?
There's still a big potency regarding Vee as well? "The Swarm Uprising'?
As the Player defeated the heavily outfitted Swarm Cohort, when entering NX010, Swarm Leadership would be in disarray? Also since the player just looted out their Precursor Yard... it would rise huge questions to the ruling Authority of the Swarm, leading to a revolution, in which the Swarm's Leaders are overthrown.... Vee being contacted, finally, to offer valuable feedback to her People about setting Diplomatic Relations with the other Races and Systems, achieving a Peace with (most of) the Swarm...and access to the Swarm's Nexus in NX010 perhaps?
But idk.. maybe i'm talking too much, maybe i like this game too much that i hope these updates will keep coming and it will never end.
Its a great concept and story and i do hope we will see mány more Patches and content being added!
