I got to thinking about a potential pack for creatures that are either extremely high profile a couple of weeks ago, and really thought about a pack for the key iconic species missing from the game. If we continue to get biomes and continents that's great but imagine if you didn't have to wait until the next pack..or next pack..or next pack...to get to the biome or locale of your choice in hopes they make the cut (which, all of these probably will or should have.) There would still be plenty of animals to go around for the biomes and locales, in fact this would free up a couple of spots. And give us a few animals from areas already visited. Due to the high profile of all of these species, I really think it would be Frontier's best selling DLC. I'm absolutely set on this list, there's plenty others I want to see but these are the ones I really want to them to just get out of the way. Apologies also, I know I've mentioned this in the forums before but just putting this in its own thread, sorry for any repetition.
Essential Animals: African White Rhino, Meerkat, Moose, Cougar, Amur Leopard, Capybara, Emu, Exhibit: King Cobra.
I also got to thinking about Biomes for Deserts which I think could go back to a 4 +1 model with some new building pieces: Fennec Fox, Coyote, Roadrunner, Dromedary, Exhibit: Leopard Tortoise
In thinking about Europe, North America, Africa, and keeping a good draw on those, and revisiting Asia, Australia and South America, I really thinking instead of trying to go fully regional, they could just go biome oriented instead, it would give us some animals missing in already released packs and free up a spot in probable upcoming packs.
Jungle/Forest animals: Ocelot, American Black Bear, Asian Small Clawed Otter, White Cheeked Gibbon, Common Wombat, Tasmanian Devil, Scarlet Ibis, Exhibit: Three Toed Sloth. This would ideally come after some kind of Avian pack, hence including the Scarlet Ibis, which I think could be left out of a main Avian pack but put in some kind of biome themed pack instead. It's not as iconic as many other birds that would probably be "must haves" for an Avian pack, but would fit in really well here. The "must haves" would include some Macaws which is why they aren't here. If Frontier does not go an Avian route, replace the Scarlet Ibis with Maned Wolf. I just feel like this pack would be a good way to wrap up some fairly highly requested animals that I feel are going to get missed otherwise.
I think it's a safe bet we'll see North American, European, African, and possibly Avian packs, so I'm going to leave those aside for now as I"m not as worried - yet - about what animals might get missed out of those.
