A new, 4th affinity?

The upgrade I miss most -- and I've heard may be covered by a mod -- is for explorers. They plod along at two hexes per turn. It takes dozens of turns to get them to the Progenitor sites or Sunken vehicles on the other side of the map. I would love to give them +1 movement, and eventually, hover ability. Nearly every game has one expedition site locked in the polar ice (either northern ice or southern ice) that no one can get to.

I usually send a submarine under the ice to collect the stray ice-locked resource pods, but they can't carry expedition modules.

the ol satelliete ice breaker gimmick would work for me

Tell me more. Which satellite can actually affect ice?

I believe that was wishful thinking. The best you can do without an explorer mod is sending a Drone or hovering (high tier) unit along the poles to pick up any resource pods. Trapped expedition sites aren't exploitable.
