This mod does look rather interesting I have to say. I'm watching my brother play through it and am incredibly liking what I've seen. I'd be playing it myself if I wasn't so invested in my Pyanadon's playthrough at the moment. I don't know how complete the mod is, seeing as it is in alpha, but if you're still working on it, good luck!
If you were interested in doing any space logistics, I'd heavily recommend not doing anything that would require you to land on other planets, but rather have the platforms basically be "trains" that go out to grab certain resources and bring them back. You could even spice it up by needing certain weapons or fuels to get the platform to a destination too. But for me, the best part about this mod is that it feels like overhaul mods used to but with all the new stuff added in.
