First off, I am speaking here as a ROLE PLAYER.
Please do not forget this…
Au contraire, it needs a LOT.
Please do check other posts of me.
This said, one can add things, and one can add things.
Adding machines?
PERFECT!
Adding digital people?
Well… no…
Missions?
Oh hell yeah!
Base building?
Euh… no.
One can add things, that simply break the atmosphere and story of a game.
Story: Sweden got heavily fuxxorred by mechs, military erased!!! and survivors evacuated.
Living beings then… (except the frakkin survivors on that island, which I also heavily dislike) would break just that…
Agreed.
Game needs more machines.
Game needs threat (which currently is not existing).
Everything is a walk in the park, sadly…
Fully agree… until it comes to the NPC’s.
If I could I would’ve killed them myself.
Again, 100% true.
Just not… you guessed it.
I NEVER EVER did, au contraire, and up to this point!
The game is AWESOME.
But it needs a machine AI fix BADLY.
As well as a G+/G++.
But DAMN, the game is not just great, it’s frikken MAGNIFICENT!!!
The land, the trees, the houses, THE LACK OF NPC… just… waaaaw…
See, I would like to have a fully decked out F14A Tomcat Grumman.
It CAN be done, it is time wise correct, so… should I ask for one? 
(Hyperbole’d to make a point)
Like you, I have this opinion, and like you, I share this opinion.
This does not mean, I disrespect you or what you wrote!
… and I really would love the F14A…
OOOH, and a Lockheed SR71 Blackbird or it’s predecessor, the Lockheed A-12…
And if you can, a Wiegert Vector W2 '73 Prototype! 
Sadly… this won’t fit the game either…
