Make Materials Great Again
In Destiny, you collect a ton of materials and resources. Spinmetal, Spirit Bloom, Helium Filaments, and so on; only thing is, not all of them are really all that useful. Sure, making them all planet exclusive is a good enough incentive to return to past locations, but generally speaking, there’s too many resources yet not enough to make a tangible impact.
No Man’s Sky doesn’t have that problem. Resources can be a source of fuel, a tool for crafting upgrades, or a pricey good on the galactic market. Hello Games made sure that collecting them feels purposeful, and Bungie’s next title would ideally follow suit. Weapon materials can be used for weapons (obviously), but why not have something like Relic Iron used to upgrade your Ghost to increase its tracking range? There’s gotta be some use for them, even if it’s a mechanic as simple as an upgrade.
