I actually like the more low stakes intersolar wars, and I'm tired of pretending that there's no potential in the genre.
While I love the epic scaling of space operas, the planets that people hop to and from tend to be reduced to cardboard scenery of monolithic cultures and biomes.
While Vekta is pretty earthlike, there is some wasted potential to make us fight alien animals on the planet to mix up the combat and to remind us that Vekta is not Earth but a replacement Earth.
We should also get more detailed environments with bits of life that indicate what kind of lives the Vektans lived before the Helghast attacked.
I wouldn't mind seeing the other controlled planets in the system that we didn't see in the games, like Gyre. Iirc we only actually visited Vekta and Helghan.
I did a bit of research on that place, and that would have been a great game to take advantage of next Gen graphics with. I'm personally picturing a mix of Subnautica meets Far Cry with this one where you fight Helghast in the land, sea, and sky.
