Dungeon of the ENDLESS™ is a Rogue-Like Dungeon-Defense hybrid game, in which your team of heroes must protect the generator of their crashed ship while finding their way out!
you can still get random upgrades through the artifacts , but the fact that you have all minor modules from the beginning adds lots of depth and strategic value. It makes to much sense not to. Just think about it.
You can always edit the game files to create a mod that does that. The idea of starting with all the minor modules is actually interesting, since you could make a special Tower Defense Pod, where heroes cannot attack and need to use good module placement and kiting to kill all enemies. Here is an example ShipConfigs file with the initial pod having all the modules: ShipConfigs.xml

The problem is, you wouldn't have enough resources for them early on, basically making them useless until later.
I like this as an option. However not as the stock escape pod game. The randomization of what you have available to research is a big appeal to me, as it forces me to tailor my module choices based on what is available. If all were open in the beginning, defenses the first couple floors would be the same every game. I personally would rarely, if ever, use this option but i like the idea for others who would dig this.

I think this could be a really interesting concept if combined with Mobyduck's suggestion above. Otherwise, I think it dismantles some of the rogue-like addictiveness and challenge if I have all the modules unlocked to start with. Some of the game's best moments are when you're sitting there at the research panel thinking to yourself, "Man, I really want to upgrade the X module, but I really NEED that Y module to start surviving the harder waves, and I don't know when I'm going to see it again..."
That would make a neat starting point for an Engineering Bay ship, you start up with the blueprints for all modules. Not sure what thematic downside could be added though.
