Why outposts are needed?

[gtouch0817]

Hello, Im not a game modder but Im a great fan of Bethesda games. In Starfiled I see lack of connection of storyline and activities available. I think this could be polished by some genuis modders, who could make a mod explaining why all those outposts, courier jobs, collecting tons of junk actually needed. My idea is that when player arrives to Starfield world the very first time, he found that Universe just survived after invasion of.. emm another reapers/whatever , who left all interstellar communications jammed , by installing guarded towers on every system. So player has to unlock systems to help people communicate and unite. He could do it with either force or by building more powerful towers, which would require resources. Of course its not gonna be a one skin mod, probably as heavy as DLC, but what do you think about this idea?
