I would like to see implementation for ship scanners. Some form of upgrade to your ship that will tell you things like "presence of <alien race> settlements" or "shielded structure" detected. Maybe even give a mineral readout or something. It would also be neat to have a planet side version of this to give you planet details on the fly. I don't know how implementable this is(not a programmer, just a player)... OH! another thing that would be rather awesome would be a backpack equipment that maps the world as you travel it, maybe even being able to craft consumable floating orb drones like in Prometheus to map ahead of you... though given how things despawn a certain distance from the player, I don't know if that is feasible. These additions would be real useful to the prospective colony builders, such as myself. Particularly the "presence of shielded structure" one. Who knows? it could be abandoned and thus perfect for refurbishing into low income housing ^_^!
Y'know, I was certain that they mentioned plans for such a feature to be included in the future. I mean, specifically the one about the ship telling you ahead of time if a planet has certain dungeons or villages on it, I think... I'd definitely like to see that coming, soon. Especially now that we have quests where we have to FIND specific dungeons and villages...
