What design features do we want to see for continents?

[Duddy]

Got to thinking about the continents, and it occurred to me that if we see them all return (in some form) they're going to be different.

But what would we like to see different?

Example;

Searhus, the bases in the crater. Instead of the volcano being dormant, why not have it as active? The bases could be suspended above the Magma and connected by bridges.

It would certainly make for different gameplay, would look gorgeous with the new lighting effects and lore wise you could justify it by saying they're making use of geothermal power for research activities ;P

Additionally, the sides of the volcano on Searhus weren't utilised too well, they were mostly open space and not a lot of fighting took place there.

But now, we can have bases and outposts built into the sides of the it! And I don't mean "on" the side of it like in PS1, I mean "in".

How else could we add to the existing continents, and what would you like to see as a feature somewhere?
