Dont forget the Skinnies!!!
Have the devs considered adding future maps that involve the Skinnies? I read the book and played Avalon Hills wargame/boardgame version of ST as a kid (yes, I'm really old). You've done a really great job at Offworld Industries in creating a game that a lot of people love. Don't overlook that ST lore far surpasses just the bugs. You could introduce the Skinnies at some point. Shoot....you could even make that a PVP aspect for the game (but I'm not advocating that). Just realize, the Skinnies could add some depth to the wonderful game you've created. As a lifelong fan of the story, thank you so much for making this game!!!

Someone else had an idea of scaling up to something similar to Planetside's (The first one) faction split and territory control. That'd be almost a different game entirely, but they could be a contender.

The movie lore (where basically all of the modern franchise is based on) is very different from Robert Heinlein's book lore

In the movie the Skinnies got interdicted by some kinda jamming or surgical strike or something, so they don't show up.

The skinnies were introduced in Roughnecks Starship Troopers chronicles as well. I'd love to see them added in the future.

Rather they add infiltrator bugs before they even consider skinnies.
