What to do after Engineers and Upgrades are done?!

[Fractured_Future]

Play the game - go and see things, do some missions, explore etc. This is the point of the game

If you are not involved in BGS or planetary exploration (exobiology) - then indeed, EDO does not offer a lot in terms of game loops.
There is a very limited number of mission types, a limited number of settlements layouts and the really cramped inventory does make material storage a real chore.

But if you are into BGS, you can now support your faction on-foot not only on-ship. This ads quite a degree of variance.

Edit: i would not count on extra EDO content. IT was marketed as a single DLC, all in one take, as opposed to the Seasons run by Horizons.

BGS impact where nerfed for EDO because they had too much impact on anarchy.

Perhaps a specialist can shine on that, but it would be probably more valuable to work BGS in space instead.

Maybe
Maybe not

However, adding more BGS support options does no harm.
Someone that could not stand to work BGS from the ship's cockpit, might now stand (pun intended) quite happily to do on-foot BGS work

I guess cosmetics count as content.

Considering their response when asked about there being no gameplay to long apex journeys was "we hope with more cosmetics for the loadout screen you will have more to do" (paraphrasing) yes.... Yes it apparently does...m

I know that there is at least another suit (or possibly cosmetic suit set) called the Wraith suit, which has at least one set of custom skins (vendetta) this was accidentally showable as an option from the elite store for a really brief moment, and got pulled before anyone managed to find out more, I hope on foot geology will become a thing, I also hope that on foot combat will become more complex with the introduction of actual Thargoids (another thing that seems openly leaked)

Hello everyone, and good day....
I've been wondering if there will be any content to use what we grinded for all this long. (perhaps when the game becomes available to consoles?!)
Is there any "rumours"/"leaks"/"official" news about it?
We unlock engineers, upgrade suits, "visiting" settlements.... what then? What will be the practical in game application of such endeavor in a near future, rather than facilitating the grind itself?
Tnx in advance!

I would say, stop grinding for a start. Enjoy the game, do missions, explore, join Community Goals. Pick a faction and or minor faction and make them stronger, help a minor faction take control of a system and it will give you more satisfaction once you unlock on engineer or achieve something rather then grinding for it.
