Suggestion:

Add the ability to salvage certain bits of Ominent equipment that is otherwise just junk (knocked over trolleys, broken computers etc). This lets us de-clutter bases like the Ranger Outposts. Make it require a quest to unlock if you want.

Salvaging this junk gives us "Ominite" or something, a generic material used in all of the bases. You could split it up into a few different resources, but that's unimportant to the main idea.

Allow players to use Ominite to fix/rebuild some parts of the outposts, making them look a bit neater and restoring some very minor functions (this is not intended to replace normal bases).

Ideas for base upgrades/restored functions:

• Add a workbench (some bases have one already anyway)

• Fix the glass pods and give them an egg storage function (or at least a decorative "fish" tank or something)

• Decorations for coziness rating

• Re-useable chests for limited storage

• Convert employee lockers to linked storage (small locker unique to each player, but shares inventory with lockers at other outposts)

• Functional shelves that can display items or weapons (also lets you re-stock the grass planks or stems that they sometimes spawn with)

• Repair broken corridors or even doors (allow room for expanding the bases in later updates?)

Just my random ideas on the spur of the moment

More advanced/complex ideas:

• Buildable/repairable drones to assist in defence around the entrance (like the Tayz.T robots)

• Buggy garages (behind caved-in areas or busted doors?) to ride in or out

• Repairable network equipment that makes O.R.C bugs go berserk, or makes them behave like normal insects of their kind or something (like an EMP just for base defence, with a cooldown on usage)

• Advanced tracking system that can show nearby bugs through terrain when using your Peep.R, or tracks one bug type on the map or something
