It could spoil one aspect of the planet exploration . A part of the games challenge is the collection and selling of materials . You need to find trading out posts on each planet you visit , in fact , that search is a big challenge , especially if you ' re on a ressource sparse planet with a broken ship . If your outpost just moved with you , this would break some of the design . Then again , if it was an progression where eventually you just had a fully upgraded outpost it would make the end game better I guess . One thing that I would like is if you had one very big star ship that acted as your base , and you launched a ship from that big ship to travel to the planet . <| sep |> Fully Updated as of 251116 <| sep |> The Todd Glass Show . It gets so amazingly stupid sometimes with the bits and sound effects but also has some pretty well thought out commentary on the serious stuff now and then . I highly recommend watching any of the episodes with James Adomian or Paul F Tompkins .
