IE, This data disk has data of a star on it where a planet has a high quality ore or some other resource. Additionally disks could contain high quality patents, Location of a ring world, a bunch of ship modules ect...
I like this idea
Dungeons in general sounds cool and the loot wouldn't really be too hard, for me at least. I wouldn't mind finding stuff like Q255 weapons, rings, storage devices, armor, clothes, any of the items you wear of keep in your inventory really. Would be cool if they were named too, maybe they could pull from a random list of adjectives to preface the names so they'd come out "Dangerous Metal Shotgun" or "Glittering Crystal Necklace" or an adjective and a noun like "Ferocious Spitter" for a gun.
Another idea for top tier loot could be a copy of a Preon particle that exists in the universe already, or one that has existed for some time :) if anyone's saving Preons for a stargate, you can get yourself a copy of it. I never actually got to that point in the game and never use particle collectors so I've never had Preons and don't know how good that mechanic would be or not be.
In relation to instanced dungeons, maybe Haxus could allow us to make buildings in the designer as dungeons? Maybe a teleporter that beams you down to a building or player-built obstacle course or battlefield? Would the guard ai work for some kind of dungeon defenders in conjunction with 'proper' ai pathing in a building with interior rooms? I've only made one house with interior and never was able to make an NPC go inside, I don't think. I didn't design the house with NPCs in mind though.
I really like this idea, it has lots of potential to add a bunch to the game, especially singleplayer.
