I find the content added with the royalty DLC great fun, but sometimes I would like the ability to go down a different path without feeling like I'm losing out.
The game currently supports 3 ways to gain Psylinks. Empire honour, Illegal use and tribal rituals. There is currently no alternate supporting system to go with the psylinks if you choose to go illegal or tribal.
The permits the empire bestows are so helpful for getting out of some tight spots. I would like to see another permit giver in the form of a mercenary board. The union factions would band together to form a review board which assesses the reputation of your faction and when you have enough reputation, you are given permits. Rep would be gained by doing positive actions like trade and quests similarly to individual faction interactions but all union factions would contribute to the mercenary reputation. Gaining mercenary rep could upset the empire as they would see the mercenary board as a threat or dishonorable to their order.
This could also introduce a new item called a "comm link" which could be an implant or a utility and could give access to some similar permits or behave like a mobile comms console. Using it could either cost mercenary rep or the requested faction rep cost could be reduced.
There could also be an equivalent end game quest to build a ship and take some important union VIPs off planet.
