I think I agree with you on the whole mission board thing. You would think by now or I would have assumed ship building would be a large part of this game. As such the developers could’ve should’ve encouraged ship building types with specific mission requirements as you described. I think that would’ve been a great addition.
Personally they should have made a full faction out of LIST. Missions could have consisted of helping settlements get built and security for shipments in space. Also being able to build your own settlement and be governor or recruiting one flushed with benefits. That would open up the game.
Yeah, the mission boards and outpost system both feel underbaked, IMO. Mission board contracts to transport goods or people are marginally useful in the early game to discover new settlements, but quickly fall off. Outposts in theory let you become some new industrial baron, but those procurement quests for staryards or settlements are really random and lame in their contruction. As a result...other than my Amp drug lab outpost I don't do much with them.
Yeah, I made an outpost once to level the perks for house furniture and never went back. If and when they add survival mode, outposts will be a lot more valuable
