New ways to use the rocket science skill?
I feel like this is something that could use a little attention. No new rockets where ever added since the base game, it does feel like a somewhat limited skill related to a single object. The other two rockets are locked behind career rewards after all.
What I propose is, a few different designs being added. Maybe in a rocket stuff pack. And each space ship getting their own unique space suit to go with it, to match the style.
There could be some bigger ships to build, maybe with a whole launch platform and such, but also taking longer to build, with more upgrades available, some that you could visually see. They could unlock new rabbit hole space trips that last longer, maybe days even that sims would really need to prepare for. Like put food on board, a repair kit and such. Like making it a whole expedition. Lack of preparation could lead to mishaps. Would be bigger rewards for the expedition too. Like maybe even bringing home an alien friend, several very rare minerals, maybe unlocking designs to build a UFO. Having an adult alien in the household could automatically unlock that option.
Could be a whole new collection of trophies from space to collect too.
The rocket science skill could maybe also be used to build other things that sims could shoot into space that don't involve any sim passengers. Like launching a satellite to get extra tv channels and boost their own social media presence, anything that gives new followers could now give twice as much.
And of course evil sims need to be able to build some sort of doomsday device rocket, to blow up a satellite or something. It seems so fitting for evil schemes. Let them laugh maniacally while launching the rocket, could be a whole aspiration really.
