    Please can something be done about giving us more variety of POIs on the starter planet. I have over 4000 hrs in game and love it, but today on clearing POIs on the temperate starter planet on a coop with @jlego we noticed that there were 9 zirax supply stations on this planet. There were other POIs but supply stations are far too easy to do. i.e.. not much of a challenge. It took some of the enjoyment out of the game doing same types over and over again.

    I've noticed this duplication problem, it seems worse since they introduced factions, perhaps because there's just not enough unique POI's for each faction yet.

    Ppl - me included - just like it more to build ships than pois..

    Also it can be difficult to adapt an existing style that is not one owns..

    Also, i fail at bases..
    But id wish that some of 'our' base building gurus would bother doing some of them.

    Agreed. Besides of the Bases @Vermillion and @Ramachandra have added for the beauty of the Polaris and Talons the poor Zirax "run" in parts pretty old POI's. It might help if the Devs take hints from the PDA and look for a bit different looking Bases as part of those Zirax Sub-Groups to which a certain Zirax Mission is referring to.;)

    Haha, I also had you in mind @Germanicus , since you build so many (large at least) bases :p

    I've been very tempted to write up a POI construction guide + do a simple POI contest to get more people involved with creating POIs.

    I love creating POIs, I find there's a lot of creative freedom there. One thing that would help is an actual POI section on the workshop where people could upload blueprints that contain the necessary alien blocks. Sharing POIs is cumbersome without that.
