  Not sure if this is in or a planned feature, BUT I felt a huge disconnect between space and the planet and kinda felt un-motivated to do much on the planet with no incentive or reason other than, get XP, get unlocks.
  
  My understanding was the core concept of the game is to get materials to being back to your orbital base? why wouldn't we be introduced to this first?

  in future you should make a 3d orbital station instead of a menu so in the station we will be able to see the beautilfull planet and have all of the same feature on different table and ability to move to have access of those menu , mission, inventory etc

  Hanging out in the space station is one of the main reasons I was looking forward to launch. Seemed like it would bring a ton of immersion to the game. Really disappointed to not have it in there. Would have rather the game been delayed a couple more weeks if it meant we'd get some float time. Please get it in asap. Thanks for bustin yo butts these past months, devs.

  Hey guys, I'd really like for the space station between missions to be a space where you can walk around and explore, rather than just a menu screen. Maybe an NPC trader to sell exotics to, a crafting station for the items you craft using the currency in the game, and your own room where you could have trophies from drops. Also, a viewing window to see the planet from the station below. Just an idea :)

  Agreed, I'd love a station as a social area and to be able to physically go to workshop, loadout, etc, before dropping back down.

  It would be a cool idea as a space to meet other players and group up

  I was just about to add this. Like a little hub where you might have a bedroom, maybe a bunk area with a cache of some sort. A little lobby. It doesn't have to be huge, it would just add so much to the emersion. It could be solo too. Even if it just had npc's everywhere. You could meet the officer who gives you orders.

  To be clear, the station was supposed to be in the final game. Even during previous dev streams we saw them moving around in it. They have reached out to me on discord and clarified that now that the game has released they will be able to spend more time working on this.

  I love this idea, you could get some inspiration from Star Citizen, they effectively do this, but with too much over head.

  It would be nice if when you return from Icarus to the space station, that you could interact with the station. Visit vendors, interact with other players possibly. Buy custom skins or gear. Play games even.

  id like to see a real space-station where you can go/fly around and do things in the workshop, plan missions, goof around with your friends and if youre ready you hop in your drop-pod and start off to icarus. id compare it to "deep rock galactic" where you can do exact the same thing. maybe it would take a bit longer cause you had to go to different screens/stations to set everything up but it would feel so much more immersive than just doin' it in the menue and starting the mission from there.

  just like NMS space stations.

  When you start your mission you see your pod release from the station while in first person and drop into Icarus, and vice versa when you leave Icarus and return.

  Either multiplayer hub to find people to run missions with you and actually buy your items from vendors or private space station you can upgrade after missions private quarters something along those lines or both

  Currently the space station is just another menu screen.. I think it'd be pretty cool to see a actual space station where you can have crafting benches, maybe a shelf that shows exotic kills, bedroom closet where you can change your appearance, view of the planet from a window, a extra challenge board where you can gain extra xp or the currency. etc. etc.

  I agree. An immersive space station would be a big plus for the game. Maybe meet Sol? ;) And a interaction to help with the station construction progress would be great.

  Space Station social area instead of pre-mission windows and tabs. I way to incorporate meeting other players for co-op and accessing all the pre-mission windows. Space station view of planet Icarus and drop pod traffic.
  
  - Small multi-layered or phased Space Station to meet other players and form co-op groups in-between prospect missions.
  - interactive Store or Kiosk for workshop items, Tech tree, Load out, Prospect missions, etc.
  - Space Station quarters for character customization, accolades and trophies.
  - News Feed Monitors with faction propaganda and even Event themes later down the road.
  
  A lot of possibilities that would really make the game feel AAA.

  I'd worry about the implications of public chat, those can get nasty if you dont have active mods/gms available. But aside from that, I like the idea. In game version of the LFG discord. Could even, in theory, extend it to a workshop item you could buy and bring down that would allow you to post emergency messages back to the public room requesting assistance on a prospect!

  I love this idea! Similarly to the tower in destiny 2, but Icarus style. Some daily and weekly bounties to pick up while we are there as well. Maybe multiple bounties with various difficulties and corresponding ren rewards with a weekly exotic bounty.

  Graphics and game play are solid. But game just feels like it's missing something, like a point to it. Basically it's drop in, do a quest, get out, do it again. Would like to see a more persistent type game particularly making building camps worth the effort. Start in an actual space port hub, where you interact with other players possibly, and markets, merchants, etc. Take missions similar to what Anthem tried (and failed miserably) to do. Ability to travel a universe, find new planets, new environments, etc. (No man's sky style just not on that level of repetitiveness) The base building is fun but pretty worthless. There's so much potential to what this game could be vs what it currently is. Too many ideas rolling around in my head, many of which I'm sure others have tapped into, but I want to love this game, I just cant seem to stay in love with it as it is.

  we spend all this time on the space station lets see it give us a room or the ability to buy a room or hub at the end of every mission let us send or unused reasources back up on the pod to further develop it

  I have to agree that having a station with vendors for the respective factions and mission officers would be an awesome. Something like this would be daunting task to add to the game, but would also add some additional immersion.

  Being able to float around or walk in Mag boots and speak with representatives of each of the factions to get the missions as well as to purchase the various tools. A separate living quarters that can be upgraded through purchase or progress that can be modified with decorations or trophies that you can attain from the surface.

  (This is asking a lot but) Maybe there could be like the space station pre game lobby. Like the one we see in the Icarus RTX trailer, allowing us to see the planet from orbit, float around in the space station and see some little things just around. Maybe the game can even start like this, meaning you have to go/float to different rooms to see stash, missions, character customisation and then finally a mini airlock you have to go in for the drop pod. I'm picturing it like Deep Rock Galactic, where you choose a mission in the center console, grab extra stuff from a stash in another room and then finally all party members regroup (when ready) at the airlock. Which then seals and plays a little animation before a third person view shows the pod(s) detaching from the station and going down to the planet. Then, (like normal) we see the pod land and then we hop out.
