A good opportunity for administration to swoop in and cleanse Codex from biodrone filth by banning everyone who seriously discussing romances with bunch of scripted pixels.
I mean, they don't have any real AI nor branching dialogue ffs.

This sounds like the horn of Quintus. Are they making a Thief-themed expansion?
Sounds like Space. Moon station expansion would make a lot of sense.

Some people say it will be set in AI controlled ghost city of busan. I think the first smaller expansion will be set in space and the bigger one eqiuvalent to blood and wine will be set in Busan.

I would settle for an expansion featuring something that doesn't suck ass

Playing a female char is not a big deal in most games, since 99% of them are written by male devs anyway. So all you get is usually "just another guy" with a nicer voice, capable of expressing emoshuns with more than different types of grunting.
Total gender equality in games achieved, feminists rejoice.
At least I never played a game where rolling a female char had any real differences. Closest mighthave of been Fallout 2, where females were drowning in money early on, because you could whore her out to half of the wasteland...

For a moment I thought it would be the Crystal Palace, but that would be unlikely for 2 reasons.
1) Having to finish the main game to be able to start a DLC would be very unusual, although it would
2) It would make the Rouge/OMGsecret ending canon, which would piss off all the Panam fanboys.
Neither would be good decisions if you aim to maximize your profits tho. Continuing that really short main story would be incline tho, and depening on your choices maybe even offer a real "happy" ending. Consoletards feel entitled to those. Like, y'know, V is healed at the price of now welcoming our new AI ovenlords.

Wasn't that "datamining" just a 4chan post CDPR already debunked as "old leaks and wishful thinking" akin to the fabled "cut 6 months with Jackie restored"?
Sure, CDPR denying something is worth even less than a 4chan post, but I'd rather not put any value in either.

We were talking about the Crystal Palace, a spez stashun casino featured in ads and [ending soilers]. So it would make "sense" to use that area.

Then better brace yourself for a 4 lane express way to the Copium Den if you pick any ending that does not contain Avocados. AKA "The Panam Show", where you trade being Johnny Silverhand's sidekick for becoming Panam's footstool.
Why would the Moon Station DLC have to be after the main story resolution?

Because one of the endings hypes THE one last heist taking place there?

Don't think it would. A post-OC expansion is hard to pull off because V's endings are pretty definitive from an artistic standpoint, not to mention that the practice has fallen out of style with modern audiences. On the other hand, a mid-game Side Job that involves V going to the fucking Moon will only further exacerbate the conflict between the side content and the urgency of the main plot. Any sort of expansion centred around V and set at any point after the events of The Heist is going to involve artistic shortcuts. A flashback expansion taking us to V's time riding with Jackie would be a more natural fit, but that'll be restrictive content-wise - you can't have the protagonist Tim Curry their way into SPAAACE only to then come back and slum it around stealing USB sticks from Night City hotels.
CDPR have kinda written themselves into a corner with the absurd progression of the core plot, not only does the urgency hamstring the base campaign itself, but it also puts them in a difficult position with expansion content. I'm genuinely curious to see what they come up with for a solution. The best option at this point would be to feature a new protagonist, but I don't think that's in the cards since it would require a long enough piece of content to justify the reroll and, again, it's not a common practice these days.

I'm betting on Mr. Blue Eyes or whoever has the necessary tech managing to fix V's organic brain and to remove the synthetic parts that contain Johnny's engram. So whether you have 6 months to live at the end of the game or you have Johnny having had taken over, either way you're back to being V.

I doubt it. An expansion where V finds a cure for their condition would undermine the doomed struggle motif which underlies the main plot. For example, in the final stretch of the game, when V asks Viktor why he was getting so worked up over a rerun of an old boxing match, the latter expresses his admiration for the attempt even if he knows it ends in failure. That's a metaphor for V's journey and one of the more poignant moments in the writing, I imagine the authors wouldn't be keen to see it thrown out.
On top of that, though this is a smaller counterargument, it's only the Path of Glory ending that introduces Mr. Blue Eyes, it doesn't mesh well with the others. Especially since choosing the gun is a valid option too.
