Feedback/questions on recent announcements: 1.7.0 sounds amazing. Personally the Mightframe pun kinda feels... Silly. But otherwise it all seems awesome. On the storyline, I got minor goose bumps reading about the Augmented. If I may be so bold as to provide a suggestion: This seems to be the perfect setup for a (slightly cliche but still pretty cool) hidden threat plotline. In which Hero Faction (Knightfall in this case) versus Villain Faction (Helgrave) but wait! True Villain Faction (Augmented?) appears. If you're trying to make the Helgrave less of an "evil" faction and more of a "antihero" faction then that usually works well with the idea of "True Villain Faction was manipulating events to cause war" type of thing. I have experience with writing and this seems to be very good worldbuilding material.

Also, this is just another suggestion but what if the reason the Augmented were outcast was because they started to try and promote use of Erchius-powered augments and technology. As is seen by vanilla Starbound, Erchius has mutating capabilities. It would be cool if you (the player that is) could steal/buy/reverse engineer/copy their tech and be something akin to an Erchius necromancer/mutant/evil wizard.
