I do think expeditions need more options for upgrades, but that is a lot of points to save up.
I haven't been on IOU for more than 2 or 3 months, but every optimizer will tell you to to save up for the additional ships right off the bat and I only bought my last ship fairly recently (thought the blackhole 500 exp point reward would be more worthwhile). It took a lot of time and can feel out of reach for quite a while. I can't imagine that even, say, thrusters will feel worthwhile when a fourth ship would add so much to efficiency, but going so long between simply claiming and buying an upgrade is tough.
Maybe, if an additional ship is added, it could be locked behind level ~10 in each upgrade. Or expedition points could be spent to boost success rates/speed or spent to combine AP/Diamond rewards (who even runs gold expeditions?).
Expeditions have some issues in general. Why does the long diamond expedition take 20 hours baseline and only rewards 2x the medium 8 hour reward? Are gold expeditions just a newbie trap?
