Beginning story mission#1140

Hey , I got an idea for a story mission at the beginning of the game how about you have to gather materials to craft a detector that you have to then go and place up in the volcano which then allows the countdowns on your watch ?

Sounds unnecessary. It would make sense, yes, but having the timer show up only after the first few missions sounds like not that big of a deal.
Either show it since the beginning, or don’t show it at all (#76) - maybe even make us work for it (#1141). But this would feel like kind of a “filler” quest, I feel like.

The idea behind is giving players a sense of what they are doing has meaning if you get me

I do get where you’re coming from, but I don’t think this really has that much point. Instead, making players work harder and longer to get their first ship would be better, as it would feel like a real achivement, and not just some cheap intro to the mechanics as it is now.
