They need to have NPCs and installations in the actual maps, where we can interact with them in a more traditional sense (bounties, etc) and have locations to defend from active attacks ... or lose if we are not vigilant ... or have to reclaim after loss. We should have an encampment, fortress, or a landed garrison ship on every planet for a center of operations. We need more items. The game needs to go to a Style system, or we need to shift perks off of items and onto actual character development, [i]or both[/i]. We need to have interaction with the actual Last City instead of just gawking down on it from our lofty clubhouse. We need to actually be able to fly our ships, and maybe use them in battle in space. The narrative of the game needs to stop treating us like unique, special snowflakes and acknowledge that we are each one of many in a blizzard trying to push back against the Darkness. First, though,[i] the Darkness actually needs to push against us[/i].
