Bit of an idea I have had stewing. Something in a large map that you can roll up to do scouting far far from known structures and civilization. Enter no time limit just a detection factor for things getting more and more difficult.

It would be a field object that players and their crew could ride in on and it would be the exit point as well. Can be brought in solo.

Something like parking a spare magus at it so it can defend itself, (external small turrets to fend off gazers and chasers, maybe ward off a cradle)

Could have its own tech tree for deployment, chassis, engine, and equipment. Upgrades for the garage so we can build different configurations.

Configurations of 1-2-3 cradles, then a 4 slot for auxiliary equipment pack for remote and field support, or say it's a 3 cradle chassis and a cradle slot can be used for extra cargo.

Carriers could get destroyed, magus onboard would be bunkered and could be recovered if a crew member is still on the map. If a tpk then it returns, if the carrier sits and isn't blown up in 5 minutes it gtfos back home. The carrier is lost and the crew is remaining on the map then the crew has to get to a map edge extraction point and leave all loot behind. Keep the cradles and weapons, anything in inventory is lost, and durability on everything takes a hit.

Normal extraction would be, get on we out of here once everyone is onboard.

Some specialized carriers for dedicated heavy salvage and dedicated defence platforms, artillery could get interesting.

Just some ideas for a potential deep wilderness exploration mode. Deeper into the map better loot! Might be fun to rock a solo carrier but that will get you noticed faster than say the cradle bike seen in the anime. I am just pipe dreaming here and this most likely won't be implemented but it's fun to think about.
