    So with Esamir being one of the most disliked continents alongside Oshur and following the Shattered Warpgate things just got worse on the continent with how many bases were disabled/removed and the Bio Labs being replaced with the Containment Sites which remain one of the most controversial facilities in the game though I see a lot of potential with them, however in order to clean up the total wreck that is Esamir we got to start with one of the worst decisions and that was removing its Bio Labs.

    Starting out Andvari and Ymir Bio Lab should both be restored back to the game as they once were.

    Starting out with Andvari which was my fav of the Esamir Bio Labs because of it being one of the 2 Bio Labs that had a compound for extra defense on the perimeter.

    Now a Containment Site is right where it use to be

    2 of its old satellite bases are also still on the map as part of the lattice, with the Andvari Frozen Reservoir removed from the lattice which should also be added back to the lattice.

    Next is the Ymir Bio Lab which is somewhat present today but the Bio Lab is gone and its satellite facilities have all been merged to one base.

    Like before the Bio Lab structure should be put back and perhaps leave the 2 towers for like Sunderers, and the 3 satellite bases Mine Watch, Eastern Way Station and Southern Reach restored back to the lattice. Ymir Containment Site will be removed and the location reformed to be a construction base "Southeast Auraxium Deposit" named for the auraxium crystals there.

    Now for the Mani Bio Lab instead of just putting it back I think it could be restored as a new facility all together, its 3 satellite facilities remain on the map under new names with the ruins of the Bio Lab in the center.

    Will now be known as "Esper Bio Lab" and instead will be an underground complex with the surface structure like that of the Ikanam Bio Lab but have a bit different underground interior design. Esper Research Station will remain as is, Steelshore Processing will be renamed "Esper North Tower" and "Steelshore Reconstruction" name changed to "Esper Fortress"

    Next on the list, Eisa should have its 3 old satellite facilities restored back to the lattice to further help divide it up and allow for better defense around the Tech Plant perimeter.

    Eisa Mining Operation to the east will be added back cutting the link from Mattherson's Triumph, Eisa Mountain Pass will be restored which will remove the links from Rime Analytics and Saerro Listening Post to the Tech Plant with Rime having a link to the facility and finally Eisa Southern Camp will be put back in the lattice cutting the link from Waterson's Redemption. With this idea it will make a huge group of facilities in the center of Esamir.

    Next up is the Baldur Amp Station will be replaced with a Containment Site so there will at least be 2 still on Esamir renaming it to "Baldur Containment Site"

    And the most noticeable thing about Esamir is the disabled lattice in the south of the continent, Eili Amp Station should be reactivated and restored as 2 of its satellite bases are actually still present in the lattice and the Eili Barracks Complex to the south also reactivated.

    The Everett Supply Co. will be brought back as "Everett Supply Depot" and have its link restored to the Eili Barracks Complex and cut the warpgate link to Frostbite Harbor, finally the Bulwark will also be reactivated while still partially buried in snow and have its links to Eili Forest Pass and Ymir Southern Reach put back and have a link to the new "Southeast Auraxium Deposit" mentioned above and link to Eili Forest Pass going to Ymir Containment Site will also be removed.

    Finally one other newish facility is the "Nott Ruins" which would be the center building from the Nott Amp Station still on the map made into a construction base with a vehicle capture point inside the building, allowing it to split Genudine Gardens and Nott Communications.

    Why there is still work that will need to be done especially with reworking the lattice links, this will add and restore facilities to Esamir better dividing up the lattice and territory percentage for alerts, having the southern facilities brought back will also make it not as easy to warpgate the empire on the Southern Warpgate.
