How much fun would it be to have one canister in the game that could be held by one player for 30 minutes or so max. It could carry data around from where it's been. Someone could have 30 minutes to place it where they want and then someone could scoop it up and take it where they wanted to. It doesn't sound like much but I bet if 3 months from now, you came across it floating in space, you would want to read the data of who had it and where it's been and then take it somewhere of your choice for someone else to find.
This is just a quick thought but if a little more was put into this, it could be some simple, yet fun addition to the game.
