My vote goes to:

One big expansion pack !!!

I'm excited to learn the new stuff the devs are working on. Personally, I would love an expansion pack that focused on... exploration! I always had this idea that to claim fertile land ripe for exploiting, you'd have to defeat the "Queen" located deep in a cavern. Cavern because then you'd make use of the military tech and your prowess on foot as opposed to cheesing a victory by dropping nukes or using vehicles or "turret creeping".

Another idea I had is a suite expansion pack you can find while exploring. I think people would always be happy to be able to have more inventory or slots in their modular suite.

I believe the devs said at one point that this is a game about factory building and the other aspects are secondary, such as exploring or defending, but exploring can be fun and optional really. The ideas I had above wouldn't be necessary to do in order to launch the rocket.
