There should be a way of upgrading your vehicles and your mounts via upgrade room in space station wich would upgrade your space ship mechs ufos hoverbike horse any other way of transport (besides teleporting} example for vehicle:mech's machine gun--->Laser cannon or Mech's iron armour-->Force field Example For living mount:horse's unarmed and unarmored self--->auto machine guns,jetpack, and horse space suit!!!! Each mount and vehicle would have more than one upgrade slot Mech's upgrade slots: left leg,right leg,Weopon,glass,armour1,armour2 (1 is inner 2 is outer) horse's upgrade slots:back left leg,back right leg,front left leg,front right leg,body,head,side(weopons)
Yes this is a great idea but I have a great suggestion so theirs random plants, ores, trees, and such on all the random planets right? now since you can scan and research objects, plants, tree's, etc. you would have to build you're weapons, armour, shields, etc. with the objects and resources you fine which adds even more randomness in to the game cause you never know what random stat's their could be on a object. So for example you have a Gatling gun on your mech but it over heats way to fast but you head to a planet and you fine a ore which combined with another (just to show the randomness and multiple combinations you could have) makes a really heat resistant metal but it would (maybe unless you very lucky) have a down side like it's really heavy or is really hard and expensive to make. Or for another example you found a plant that's heat resistant which when manufactured makes a heat resistant coating. of course it woulden't be as good at not overheating as the metal combo would be but it would have almost no down sides. this also makes it so (like how the dev's want it) you will never have the same game twice. Thats all let me know what you think of it, thanks
