Would love to see an explorer rover the player can fabricate, and command to do things for you.
Have it retrieve items, explore, patrol, drop markers, or follow and protect you with a built in
stasis rifle. The player will need to hunt down titanium, glass, wire, ai
chip, blueprint, etc, to be able to build it. Have it self-guided with a limited set of
capabilities. Wouldn't want the rover to play the whole game for you. (remote controlling would
be cool, but might be hard to manage)
The main feature would be a remote cam so you can watch it explore or perform your requests from a
console in your Habitat or from inside the Cyclops. Maybe even make it be able to bring the
Cyclops home to you. Send it - it will then dock with it, and then drive it back and park it near you.
Give it a small storage capacity to carry minerals, or a fish for the tank, or take you to them, etc.
Have an available mini menu in the TAB menu system to activate and command it.
Make a console for your habitat with a view screen to watch the built in cam action as it moves.
(maybe have one automatically built in to the Cyclops as soon as you fabricate it for the first time)
Great game guys. I am so addicted.
Very cool...Thanks

Could be a module set up inside a Base to remote control it from, but if it goes too far out, or gets damaged, or runs out of juice, you would have to go hunt it down and drag it back.
limitation as suggested by 04Leonhardt would be implemented the same way everything else is with a battery giving you a limited distance and operation from your base and storage capacity so it could take more than one trip
you could have a special dock section to add to you store room area that the rover automatically Leaves from and returns to in order for you to take the items out and store them away while docked it would get a recharge giving you semi automation
the potential limitations and capabilities could be expand on vastly but while trying to keep it as simple as possible
