I think a good kind of quest to be given from some NPCs (especially on the more barren planets) would be a cross-planet terraforming quest for example: Bring back 3 of this class of plant, and capture and bring back 2 herbivores and 1 carnivore creature from another planet. After completing, and leaving the planet upon the next visit the biomes have been populated with these creatures and plants in some areas of the planet. This would allow the player to feel like they have really made a lasting different on the planet, and had some decissions made about what life is there.
I think this is going to happen, because, you can cut off plants and carry them with you, and you cna plant them. So it's propably possible.
I hope so. It's one thing to just take plants one by one from one planet to another, but actually changing the ecosystem of a planet by doing so (i.e. more plants like that growing on the planet - polonating the planet with these plants) would be really awesome
I could see like a counter being set up like, "Plant 20 of this plant, 30 trees, and grow grass on 40% of the planets surface! or something.
Sounds like Spore, but it's definently something I want in starbound, though it probably is going to be in it.
