For the love of all things holy and sacred, please take into consideration the following:
1) Space opera without dog fights?! You having a giraffe?!
Dear Budgie (I think Budgie sounds cuter), you must add doggy fights. Imagine the grinding and looting that can be accomplished with doggy fights. You can include different ships and different upgrades and have awesome big public event doggy fights. For once, the ships we get and unlock will finally mean something awesome.
2) Bring life back to earth... and other planets... but do it slowly.
One thing we know about humans is enough is never enough and we always end up in shit because we go where no man has ever gone before. We should start getting missions where as a collective community, we must collect upgrade materials to build various things the human city needs and as the materials are collected, we should start to see structures appearing that will eventually unlock new things.
e.g.
The human race used to have great sporting events where vehicles raced around set tracks at great speed. Now that the Traveler has been healed, we would like you to gather these materials so we can rebuild this. Once completed, racers from across the worlds will be able to compete in sparrow races and earn great rewards.
Note: Do not give us boring missions to make this happen. Place other npc characters on various locations on various planets sent by big corps that will give us the missions. Add a variety of them including a set of them:
e.g.
go to this location, clear out the enemy, place bomb at location, wait for it to detonate, collect goods, bring them back safely. Also, once the bomb has gone off, it doesn't mean you will need to blow it up again, nor does it mean all the material can be collected at once or by 6 people. There should be a maximum you can carry and the quantity you have created should deplete as time goes on. once depleted, it should take a few weeks for it to happen again, but then you should be given new locations to do this in. This would also mean, that in itself, players will need to guard the location 24/7 as enemies can return anytime and claim the location back. This would also allow lone gamers to collect goods without having to worry about creating a team.
3) Hide and Seek
Yes, I know, sounds stupid doesn't it? Well guardians need to have fun. We aren't souless killing machine douches. When me and my team members are bored, we run around hiding from each other during missions and in the tower. Only problem is that in the tower, the name sticking out gives it away. Create a hide and seek location for us! I joke not you fiend, after all the killing I have witnessed some of us guardians need a cool down session of the simple things in life.
4) Start replacing the green mission markers with characters we can interact with. If not, add more characters scattered around worlds for us to interact with.
5) Create public events where we fight large ships and destroy them. Let us board them and place bombs in weak spots and watch it explode as it flies off. Let us shoot from the ground as it hovers over us bringing destruction to everything below. Let us blow stuff up dammit! aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! I want to see people being able to blow these things up bit by bit. Oh look one engine blew up... oh and there goes a cannon... and now the domey thing!
6) Create sparrows for 3 man fire teams for special sparrow missions. 2 chicks and a cup. No, I meant 2 gunmen and a driver or flyer. Create missions based on these sparrows where you drive through terrain fighting other goons on their sparrows, bigger sparrows, smaller sparrows, on foot, in turrets etc. Again this will let you create a whole new grind around the sparrows and tweaking (not twerking) you could do with them.
7) On the subject on twerking, why can't we choose more dance styles Budgie? Why can't my Guardian body pop, or river dance, or belly dance, or boogie? Do it, just do it!
8) Where are earth's other defenses at? No, seriously Budgie, where are they?
You should create manual AA turrets that can be manned for shooting attacking airships etc from alien invasions. Clearly the traveler is still down with man flue and he cannot ward them off.
9) Easter eggs - Starship troopers, Star Wars, Dune, Riddick, Star Trek, Avatar, Flight of the Navigator, etc Do it, just do it!
10) Do it, just do it. Budgie, do it. C'mon honey, just do it.
