  1. With the addition of the Dormizone a while back players now have 4 different spaces they can customize -- the Orbiter, the Dojo, the Dormizone, & the Drifter's Camp -- which is really cool, but I think is a little underutilized given how little we visit them. Most players will near exclusively use their Orbiter & have little reason to care for the decoration of the other places since they will barely see them, & thus I think some new options may be in order. First, players should be able to access their foundry & navigation from all 4 locations. This would make it feasible for players to operate out of each location for most of what they need to do. This could manifest as sending requests to Ordis rather than having full foundries at each location. Second, players should be able to choose which of the 4 spaces they spawn in when starting up the game. This already exists for the Drifter's Camp, but could be great for the other 2, too. The Dojo would mean players start out potentially with other players in their Clan hanging around in the space, which could be great for helping make communities feel more, well, communal! Third, players should be able to enable a "Load Extra Lobbies in Background" option if they want the 3 other spaces to load after their chosen one finishes loading. This is an idea ripped straight from Dark Souls 3's Firelink Shrine, which loads the rest of the area attached to the main Firelink shrine slowly while you move around the main part of the shrine since 90% of the time you won't be going outside the main part of the shrine. The other 3 lobbies could just be a menu option to warp, but I imagine that the Orbiter could be fun for the Dojo where you could have your Orbiter "parked" at the Dojo & other players, or at least ones in your party, could freely walk into your Orbiter if you so choose, maybe with a "Load Party Member Orbiters in Background" option. These steps could really help encourage players to pay a little more attention to all the different "home" spaces they have in the game & even help foster some community as mentioned above. P.S. I also think it would be a cool idea to allow players to be Dormizone roommates, having them share a Dormizone space & thus have a space for just 2-4 players to share as their tight-kit best friends pad. Also the ability to have your pet(s) live at any of the 4 lobbies could be fun, too!
