I hope eventually you can sort of bookmark planets or have a sort of history of all of your planets you jumped to, not necessarily in a way that you can always Teleport to them, but at least in a way that you can make your way back to them when you'd like to, I remember spending hours trying to find a planet I was on that had an avian tomb because I needed a golden ducky for a quest and I ended up stealing one from a grounded's house in a village because I just came across that first. I felt kind of bad in that context that you feel bad as a character in a game since I was playing an Avian and so the Grounded are sort of like your bros if you're an avian.
EDIT: I just realized that a lot of quests that aren't the major scenarios are essentially asking you to steal items for people at the outpost because they want a thing and there's not really another way to get it in the game.
