I like this idea. imo the core of factorio is conquering scale. the base game is already very polished. at this point I just want more stuff to do post launch. taking the scale up another order of magnitude (huge ships, point to point air transport for latency sensitive goods, etc.). would also provide the opportunity to expand combat a bit to provide automated defenses for far away shipments. I want my robot navy, now shut up and take my money!
