Hire a writer, turn story on? Finish some of the Galnet threads that never went anywhere?
[video] The need for more "CONTENT"
Maybe they needs two years and can call it "Beyond II: This time we really mean it and will actually fix stuff...honest" I like it...catchy
Beyond 2: Beyonder: Electric Boogaloo: The Sequel
Starring: Grindy McGrind Face
They need to create new mechanics out of the existing assets, that will allow for player driven activity.
What does that mean? For example...
Players gather materials and do delivery missions to enable construction of their own planetary base.
Planetary bases generate income for the player.
Planetary bases can be expanded to become larger by doing more missions.
Planetary bases can be destroyed by other players or NPCs.
That sounds like an actual game.

Squadrons maybe, not single players.
I would prefer more tools and opportunities to create our own content. I don't want it spoon-fed by FDev.

Don't need More Content we need existing content to be more ENGAGING and have some DEPTH.
In short make things seem like they are connected, not just one rng thing after another, that's what makes the game seem like theres no content
It's the same as a choose your own adventure book, how difficult is that to implement in this day and age?
A little intelligence and variety is all that's needed.
Oh one more thing FIX THE BLOODY MISSION TARGET bug
- If i blow up 2 ships from a wing then the last wing member should sometimes escape and later on track me down with his big brothers, get a message saying "Remember me let's see what you got now".
That should be persistent if i jump to another system after a while they follow me. - USS Spawns should be relevant to what i have on my ship, if i don't have fuel limpets then don't spawn me a uss with ships that have run out of fuel.
- If i have a mission to source 20 tonnes of cargo, then spawn me a USS that has a ship carrying that cargo with a couple of escorts.
- If i do a mission to deliver some cargo, dont give me a follow on mission to infiltrate a base installation, give me a mission to deliver some higher value cargo with more risks attached to it.
- Don't just give me mission to the next system, give me a mission top pick something up from somewhere take half of it to one station and half to another.
- If i have just jumped to a system to deliver something to a station, don't offer me a mission to take it somewhere else, for 1000 credits, because its a waste of my time, i can pick up a higher value mission when i dock for less work and more credits.
- If i accept a mission then update the mission board with relevant missions to what i'm doing.
