What changes I would like to see in future update

This is only my personal view but I feel that few things , some big some little , can improve the game a lot … I’m not a Dev so please don’t be hard with me if I say bull..

menu​
overall would be nice to have a more organized menu… for example the control tab
should be better divided maybe with pictures or else just to setting things up faster.

I would like to have more then one custom control setting , sometimes I use joystick and sometimes I use the keyboard with mouse … right now If I change key-binds from the preset they will give me a custom setting that maybe was already good for another type of play style… AKA If i go back playing with the previous set up I need to reset all over.​

Starport services​

like in first encounters would be cool to have a video welcome from the station, I know this is not a useful thing and maybe can slow down the docking process but back in the amiga era was really cool….
mission from the bulletin board should have links that show the system map you’re going to
Galnet news should point more clearly the community goal when available right now is not clear enough or is bugged​



outfitting​

would be nice to see a different menu while outfitting the ship …
the scrolling is very bad(in the main menu as well) and sometimes you lose track of what you’re searching for .
The Icons are all the same and even if you can organize by type etc.. would be nice to see
different pictures for the modules and weapons maybe even with color per class.
please get rid off the scrolling menu and use icons from where you can access sub areas.
go more in depth with the modules and let us feel more whats inside our ship.
​

comm chatter​

while flying is hard to type or answer straight to a cmdr would be nice to just point or select the ship and start chatting instead of going trhough the menu…​

Map​

the map is nice but is impossible to remember names , if you don’t type the correct letters you won’t find the system…
I guess that should be enough to ad a copy and paste for the names everywhere in the game because sometimes I find myself with pen and paper just to write down what I need to find in the map.
​

module management​

It’s cool to manage the power but like this is a bit annoying you don’t really manage a lot , if the ship is consuming too much power you just switch off the less important module and that’s it … wold be cool to have a panel where you can change the power source (maybe through a diagram ) so that you can not only power correctly the ship but you can hack the ship in an unique way giving an extreme power to something that if you don’t control can blow up etc etc imagine having a super pulse laser that can be used just as last resource or a super thruster, that after the use need to be changed but have saved you from the super pirate …
or a super ECM system that swicht off all the ship around you ….. I don’t know but they can improve a lot here.​

ship​

I really like how the ships fly, the feeling is superb, but they all kinda feel the same I would like to have different cockpit and would be cool if every ship work differently … imagine a different start up sequence or different monitor display I mean all the ship have the same control panel same disposition and same functionality …. they work and they’re great but they’re all the same …. at the end we have 20 \22 ships in the game … at least give different feelings from factory to factory, like in real life with cars.




I don’t know if devs read those kind of threads but if you guys agreed with me just post what you think maybe our requests will be heard

thanks to all and please don’t judge me hard I don’t know if all this is possible i’m just posting my wishes for the future

Mat.​

You can do this now -- see following instructions:
Once you finish your control scheme and click apply, then it'll be saved as:
C:\Users\<Windows Profile Name>\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings\Custom.binds
_
To find this location, you'll need to go into Control Panel/folder options and make hidden files and folders visible. So once you have your Custom.binds you can go in and make a copy and re-name the copy to whatever you want. I named mine after my joystick model. Leave the re-named file in that same folder and it'll now show up as a preset drop-down at the top of controls. So you can make a preset for each control option you need.

Now that I think of it, I would love to have a "favorites" list of systems so I don't have to remember how to spell lttg 439032 every time.

Exactly ... a favorites list of system is a great idea ... would be useful to know how challenging is to improve the game , so we can ask for things that are actually doable.

Lol, yes I concur. Either that or they should change Eotenses to Eotensis because that is how I always spell it. Yes I know you can see it easily in the Power Play map, but I prefer to route using the ordinary map, the power play map gives me a headache. Or a list of the last visited systems. Or....a really intelligent ship AI that knows where I want to go before I do.

Would like to see: merits awarded for defending home systems: improves pvp by making attackers meet defenders and is a bonus to solo and private modes too.
