Expanded events while at a station, visual novel style. They can have a variety of effects, such as gaining/losing money, free equipment or new quests.
Gear can be stored instead of brought and exchanged. However, you must pay storage fees.
Crewmembers recruited have a more rich and varied backstory, and the events that specifically require them have bigger effects.
An origin that you can choose that gives various starting circumstances, maybe a different tutorial.
More Ring slang.
#A Few ideas I had
limpid oracle
steep abyss
sounds nice. though it should be a post 1.0 thing.
solemn moth
i think this is a great way of improving the story aspects of the game. maybe it could show up in the crew tab and you'd have an option to talk to them which would maybe give you a little tablet or console style thing with their face on it, or maybe it would actually take you to them wherever they may be on enceladus, be it the bar or a capsule hotel or visiting their good friend jameson
