what if there was a new type of npc drop? one that was used to upgrade the base. sort of like durtanium brackets for our ships but for the base. and of course it wouldn't be limited to just that sort of upgrade, maybe a drop that increased shields or a sort of dark smugglers cache for the base. increasing base funds by 20% of the total that is already in it.

I doubt this would be considered until base combat has come out but it would be a good way to help the base without spending all your research towards upgrading the base. and it would get more people to NPC hunt.

new bosses would have to be put into the game so that this could work right though.

i think that will be added once base combat comes out, +1 anyway

+1 and they could just be part of the current NPC system now, but I agree that it'd be better with Base Combat.

if this was put into the game what kind of drops would you think they would be? and if anybody has any ideas put them here please.

suggested something like this right after the base came out

maybe something that will add points for abundance or resources, or add hull or shield or both, maybe this will be a chance to drop from existing NPC bases like the dark megacomplex etc.
