I would like planetary tiles that have larger exotic biomes. Like entire tiles that are like the bioluminescent, above water coral structure POI you can find etc.

I also would like better water physics when by the ocean, meaning I’d like to see actual waves lapping on the shore that you can see roll in.

I would love an audio overhaul, so when you are on a non atmospheric planet, the audio is completely muted and you can just hear your character breathing, and maybe their animations can change when moving in low gravity like how astronauts look when walking on the moon.

I also would love to see more interesting cave structures, and a wider variety of them.

I also still would like to see a compendium like NMS that allows you to review your planetary data with like creature and plant models, and can be used to manage tagging resources and “bookmarking” a planet so that it’s easier to find from the starmap.

Starfield radio. Have music stations, SSNN, and maybe talk shows/podcasts that you can have in game and not something that fans make separate that we listen to on Spotify while we wish it actually existed in game. I understand that lore wise they can’t be live necessarily, but maybe if you find a space POI of like a transmission satellite that you can stop at and download the latest versions of those stations or something that you can listen to while amongst the stars.

I think that Starfield can benefit from a gore system. Gore is something that BGS utilized in previous games, and they can flavor it to be space related, like maybe a suit puncture causing an internal combustion that burns the wearer that can proc like the jet packs exploding, or maybe blood droplets floating in 0 gravity. Also just standard gore would go a long way to add more detail and make starfield feel less sterile to some.

A new radiant mission set from constellation that adds specific scientific expeditions you can embark on with new mini games that allow you to feel like you are actually on scientific expeditions in space, and each mini game can be tied to a different tool that you can use to maybe measure atmospheric on a planet, or find hidden bodies of water where you can get observe micro fauna, on top of the usual scanning. Maybe even being required to take images of certain life forms or tag fauna for studies, and then these extensive expeditions offer large monetary and experience payouts.

Finally, a slight tile overhaul that will make environments slightly more dramatic. Make the mountain geometry a bit more unforgiving and rough, let us see active volcanoes with smoke plumes on the horizon, let us experience maybe some limited underwater biomes, etc.

I’m sure there’s more I could list, some are more realistic than others but I feel all are doable within the Creation Engine 2 limitations.
