i am propably not the first one to suggest that but it would be nice to save your colonist after you rescued them with your rocked. Like you could have an imaginary space station where your rescued survivors could live. Now you could chose out of this pool of survivors who you want to send on a mission. Since you already played with them they obv. would have higher stats (the same stats they left your old colony with) or all bionics (cause you realy wanted to push that one guy) or you could play with that one colonist again that you loved that much in your last colony. you could use them to build colonies in harsher enviroments or in enviroments with more difficult enemys, because of now it realy makes no sense to build a space ship since you dont get anything out of it. I mean you do it once and then never again because there is no insentive. Now you could save them and reuse them. This could work well if you decide to for example add new planets where you just have to be prepared to survive(strong weapons from the beginning), cause i dont know how other people see this but i think this game is just 2 easy. If you played it a couple of times even the highest difficulty just doesnt cut it and i want to have more reasons why i should start a new colony. Also i dont think it should be that difficult to add since you can already save enviroments so just saving specific colonist with their equip should be fine and you could just make a new tab in the colonist selection screen for the colonist you have rescued. But i dont know if it realy is that easy i dont make games i just play them
. So yeah that would be my idea
