Add flight through gas giants

[houligan]

Add flight through gas giant atmospheres (not landing). Add missions rewarding exploration progress and significant payouts that require you deploy a limpet or use a scanner or similar while inside the cloud. Make it so you take damage / hazard while you are in the cloud, so it would require a different type of exploration build (stronger shields / hull / repair ability / speed)

You could probably reuse a lot of the Titan Maelstorm mechanics and get pretty close.

High expectations is the issue. If they deviate a lot from the expected physics for the planet, they'll get negative feedback. They are planning to do it, but don't expect it any time soon.

Being able to dip into the upper layers of a gas giants atmosphere would be great even better if the reasons to do so weren’t tied into doing missions.

Like killing baby thargoids that are swimming around the ammonia worlds in larva form. Extracting their brain juices, the secret but necessary ingredient for brewing lavian brandy.
