tl;dr: I want for there to be some kind of indicator that will tell the player whether they've completed a particular branch of a story or if it's still ongoing.


It's my experience that the major faction story quests have a tendency to just stop without telling you whether or not you've finished the last one in the chain/line or when the next one is going to arrive. I'm often sat there waiting turn after turn wondering when the next one is going to pop up, and I can't tell if it's a bug when it doesn't.


Just recently I played as the Sophons and did the first quest that required me to orbit a couple of systems outside of my own constellation. I'd opted to automate science, but after completing it I received no further quests, and since I hadn't gone down that particular Sophon branch before, I didn't know whether or not that was intentional.


So, bug or not, I would love for there to be some kind of indicator that will tell the player whether or not they've completed a particular branch of a story so we're not left wondering. Ideally, if there's some hidden criteria keeping us from progressing in the story, I'd like for that to be made clear as well.
