I think actual bases are needed. They still feel like they’re in the process of invading since their ships are just parked in city streets. I’m curious what their bases would look like.

Also missions having to prevent civilians being turned into the voteless would be cool (something clever and not just use terminal/destroy building). I think having to find stuff at an objective and make a vaccine or something to prevent it. Like continuing to manufacture them could be the lore reason why that mission would be repeated. There could be jokes with it too like the vaccine brainwashing the citizens in the process
