Alright, gonna expand on my earlier post.
Random events and timer. At the start of a round, a time shows in the status tab. After the first 30 minutes passes, a random even happens. This could range from flash mob spawns (wendigo's on their monthly space migration), space fruit rains (fruit is thrown at the station with such force it damages things), a mild virus outbreak, etc. Anything that would give the crew a bigger incentive to build efficiently and tactfully. Build a big armored base but you didn't build a pathology lab? Well it stopped the wendigo's but didn't stop the virus.
I also think there should be GOOD random events. As an example, when the crew has a QM bay built, they can receive random shipments of goodies from Centcomm. If there's a bar, a roving band of space clowns may stop by and provide entertainment and HEALING drinks. Got a scientist constantly researching? Maybe he will discover something great that will increase chems given from mixes or money production over time.
Just add a little neat variety to it.
