Mod Request: Phoenix protocol quest line
There is something that has been bothering me greatly about this game. With the fact most of humanity was contained to earth with only small pockets existing elsewhere SOMEONE in the protectorate had to have made a plan just in case something happened to earth or it had to be evacuated for some reason. I mean IRL there are people who plan for if aliens invade, then zombies show up, then zombies bite those aliens so we get alien zombies then all of a sudden rapture happens... Long story short what I am saying it is someones job to plan for quite literally everything. That said the protectorate should have some kind of emergency facility quite some distance from earth as a final safeguard for humanity. I am not talking about the outpost as that quite clearly is not it and just a ragtag group put together by Esther and not an actual Protectorate operation.

The failsafe would be an absolutely massive facility built to house hundreds of millions with all the information and production facilities need to start from scratch. My line of thinking is an activation signal is sent out with the destruction of earth and the facility begins broadcasting a message for all surviving humans to rally at the signals location but when you show up the facility is mostly in ruins as it was also attacked. The core data banks and AI computer in charge of the facility are still intact but basically everything else is gone. The questline is basically to rebuild the facility bringing back requested resources and rescue essential personnel and each time you do a new part of the facility is restored. you get to watch the facility go from mostly rubble and a handful of surviving protectorate personnel to a sprawling megastructure with most of whats left of humanity.

I was thinking that you actually have to manually build an outlined blueprint but I don't know if the game is capable of that so it might just have to be resource delivery. Basically the point of this would be a mid to late game resource sink that makes more sense than a space station. The facility would have some unique shops and benches that allow you to build special protectorate weapons and armors as well as maybe even vehicles and mech parts.

I am not expecting this to get made as this would be a mod on the scale of Knightfall or Shellguard if not Fraking universe but I figured I would at least post it somewhere.
