The visual enhancements look great as (nearly) always, as do the new space "phenomena". Visually it will be a great update for sure. Overall everything sounds nice. Drones are definitively (at least in theory, let's see in practice) a great improvement over the past 4 years of eyeballing and accidental stumbling into discoveries.
But I hope they do not mess it up by making each drone occupy a ton of cargo space, thus requiring large cargo capacities, followed by endless surface scaveging (an activity I dread even more than a colonoscopy) for synthesis, or worse require materials found only in the bubble (hello heat sinks). I would have preferred some kind of new scanner functionality instead of consumables, mostly to avoid these "possible" issues.
