I think it was a good idea, but there just isn’t enough to it. And there isn’t any real control over it.

The settlements really need to be expanded in terms of what you can do with them. Otherwise I think they are pretty boring.

We need to be able to decide what to build, rather then just getting an X/Y choice between two buildings, or sometimes even just one building and it’s a yes or no choice. It would also be nice if we could decide where to place the buildings. And i think at least some of the buildings need to serve some function. So far the only building I have found that’s useful for anything is the one that holds a trade terminal. Would also be nice if we had some sort of control over what product the town produces. And it would make more sense if it eventually produced some finished product, rather then just some raw material.

Pushing it a bit further, it would make sense if we could move those base NPC’s to the town and use them to do research to make better upgrades or something.

I guess you could take it even further, but then we’re starting to get more into a simcity kinda thing, which wouldn’t really be bad. But i think that would be too much to ask for.

As it stands now the settlements were a cool idea, they just aren’t really interesting

The expected level of technology needed to traverse space and galaxies, build bases out of various resources, upgrade equipment, yet, none of my “spaceships ‘ can hover or fly backwards in any situation.

Ill never understand this.
