So the new Interstellar initiative is for weapons - YAWN!

To be honest,I'm not playing this Interstellar Initiative for the rewards but for the interaction it builds. The Guardian system is full of other player ships. I've had more wing requests and interaction with other players since before Distant Worlds 2 started and, although that does bring it's fair share of griefers, a fast ship can still outrun most of them. I'm hoping they put missions and such on the mission boards from Thursday on wards and put in scenarios around the installation that's out there two.

If all you are interested in is the the reward of the end of the journey, you'll miss the journey itself, which is probably going to be the best part.
 
I don't dislike the idea that Thargoids may interfere with our grind. I expected so.
I hope it's not only about the typical NON-HUMAN USS's.
  • I want to see stations under attack in real time. Players can save the stations fighting back the aliens but this shouldn't last 1 week. That's too much to see some real progress. Servers tick should be on daily basis when FDEV puts a station under attack.
  • I want to have missions where I have to transport guardian commodities away from an attacked station and transfer these to another one with NPC escort and Thargoids interdicting in Supercruise and Witch Space.
  • Same mission but where I can play the escort together with other NPC's and protect a Type9 full of guardian stuff.
  • I want to discover some new type of underground ruin to explore with the SRV and where I can scan some new type of pylons or underground beacons where I can collect guardian data or clues where to find other big stuff.
This has been requested countless times. I was one of the requesters too.
Thargoid Thursday - station magically flip from "fine" to "burning" because "there was a thargoid incursion".

The SRV has so many potentials, none of them are getting used.
As you said, underground ruins.

How about a massive city, inside a biodome that burst, and you have a MASSIVE city to explore?
Or cities of civilistions lost that didn't make it to space before they got wiped out for some reason?
Or proper SRV racing tracks, not just player organised circuits.
