Survey missions, varying mission parameters
Not sure how plausible this is but I was thinking, since there will be a new mission system and way to progress, what if we could have specialized types of missions to give players a reason to explore planets, such as survey, artifact retrieval or other scientific endeavors. The survey missions could have us utilizing a scanner or maybe even just exploring an area of a planet, maybe collecting samples of flora and fauna and returning them to the origin of the mission. This may give purely exploratory ships a reason to exist with an emphasis on exploratory devices and systems such as the scanner, even POIs some of which could hide old alien artifacts or the remains of human colonization. Leading players to want to turn over every rock, drill into every mountain, go into every cave. It would allow POIs to not become just another rock or mountain, it would keep things interesting.
Anyways just my thoughts on exploratory missions. Thoughts? Considerations? Ideas?
I like this feedback
Just now realizing I posted this on the wrong forum, this was meant for SE2 not SE1... my bad.

I'd take this idea for both games

Agreed.
Missions that help players get a start would be good too.
Things like:
fly this ship/drive this vehicle to another station or outpost. Sometimes you get to keep the ship or car.
Use a prebuilt miner to get a certain ore. The player is able to keep any excess.
As said, investigation and flora fauna retrieval would be a great way to break the monotony of finding the same lost cargo satellite over and over. They could also have higher reward, making it worth visiting planets. And making planet starts more interesting
