    Cosmic Exploration Dronebit missions

    I think the idea fundamentally is good as it pushes people to go and explore the map and feel a bit more like we're not just sitting at base camp all the time, but there is multiple crippling issues to the system to my eyes:

    - We get way too many drone modules, like I've only completed 2 relics and I already capped the currency, this gave me a whooping 25 drone modules to painfully do one after another. It takes AGES.

    - The spots aren't even truly random, they're predetermined, which means it gets very trite and repetitive fast, especially when you get the exact same spot TWICE in a row (but at least it expedites the process when it happens...).

    - There is no lore behind it. Such a missed opportunity as this planet seemed to hold a lot of promising revelations on its past. I would have expected hunting for things like field notes (bozja) that you'd get reasonably easily from it.


    Potential solutions to the issues:

    1) Perhaps give 5 ancient records instead of a single one per location and increase the price for each module to 1k or something. Make them a batch essentially. This would seriously cut from all the endless running, because when you have over 20-50 to do, it's NEVERENDING. Instead you'd have a more reasonable amount of drone missions to do for the same amount of rewards per dronebit spent.

    2) Introduce field notes to be randomly found in those as well. Don't attack them exclusively to gold, really. Lore is supposed to be chill, not a sweaty tryhard gamba.

    3) Give us more useful rewards, even if just consumables. Those would fit perfectly to bronze logs.

    4) Allow us to use the item while riding a mount (like we can use cordials, the compass, etc). Also allow us to recover the drones while mounted (with an area to stand in rather than an interactable). Your game also has a stupid obsession with useless confirmation windows, remove it please. Yes I want to use the stupid drone module.
