Can we have planet exploration missions?

[Mengy]

i mean, the new planets are absolutely stunning and the new material limits are making me stick around on surfaces longer.

with that in mind, i would love to see some exploration centric missions. nothing crazy - find (say) 10 high metal worlds, or 6 water worlds, or 3 earthlikes etc.

heck, they could even encourage us to start scanning the muddy rock planets instead of flying right past them by giving a generous payout for scanning 50 of the things.

thoughts?

That would certainly be lovely.


I make my own "missions" but it would be nice to have the game actually provide some exploration gameplay. I've been waiting four years to get some exploration missions, hopefully I'm not waiting another four.

I would welcome these, though I suppose that it wouldn't really change anything or matter much for those of us that already spend a lot of time exploring since things like "go find undiscovered gyesers/EWL/TWW" or whatever else are objectives that we are already likely setting for ourselves.

That is to say, I'm already doing these activities and earning a profit today, so the supporting mission system would need involve more than a simple "go find x."

Then again, I the obvious value add would be increased profits from an exploration trip, and I suppose that picking up a lot of "go find x" missions before heading out on an expedition would provide underlying objectives for the expedition, which would be nice at times.
