If you could make one change to E:D

Either.
1) Getting rid of Witchspace and allow ultra-high C interstellar Supercruise at tens of thousands of Cs
or
2) Enable all FSDs to use all their fuel for jumps, rather than limiting it to a certain tonnage. So stupid.
or
3) Allowing us to choose which star to jump to in a binary/trinary/quaternary system.
So I don't have to jump in at freakin' A and SC to B or C, 100000Ls away. Borrrrrinnnnnggg......

To pick your battles... have an option to remove the screen tinting feature. Rolling back on that feature would be a universal win for everyone.
The entire game looks crap unless you're in the goldilocks zone away from a limited number of star types.

I guess I would add micro jumps.
Too many to list, but the #1 change, if I could go back in time and implement it, would be a complete revamp of the exploration mechanic so that the galactic map is hidden in a "fog of war" initially (out to some scanner range) and travelling to stars without navbeacons would be a difficult minigame. Explorers should then be able to drop a navbeacon for others to follow. Ships would also deteriorate over time so ships would need backup to push further and further into unexplored space.
Alas, this is one change which can't be retrofitted.

FDEV mentality:
I would change it so that they are more engaged with the community and accept new gameplay and features suggested here rather than adding things that no one asked and only few enjoy

I'd do something with supercruise.
It's very boring.
I get the space is big argument, but this is also a video game, so I don't see the need to sit in supercruise with zero gameplay in most cases for 5+ minutes.
I'd love it to be a lot faster paced, if you wanted it to be (boost, or FSD engineering for supercruise speed instead of range). Or jump to other stars.
Maybe even add some sort of super luminal combat... SC capable missiles and mines mostly.
Also add some stealth mechanics to supercruise to allow sneaking.
I'd also change PowerPlay, to open Only.
And remove the modules, and stick them behind tech brokers. Powerplay rewards would be rare materials of all types, in increasing quantities the higher rank you go, as well as increase the credit payout.
Plus being in hostile space would actually be dangerous, with NPC's seeking to destroy you, just for being there.
And replace the silly leaflet gubbins with various types missions, where your rewards are simply merits.

I'd add procedural structure generation and apply it to almost everything. Result is every starbase, planetary port, megaship, installation or building set is unique to its location but seen the same by every player. Also influenced by the population size, creating bigger or smaller stations/ports from barebones to huge sprawls/behemoths.
Fix the netcode to an acceptable level by reworking it from scratch because whenever I want to play with my friends I often can not.
I'd make... the Galaxy Great Again, I guess?
Also, one-off long-range fsd jumps. Gotta be a better way to do long-range exploration.

Offline mode.
Then I wouldn't have to suffer all the changes other people want.

Id remove the engineers. I hate to think of the dev time spent on it.
The engineers polluted every thing in the game from pvp to the bgs and if the dev time would have been spent, for instance on the bgs or on powerplay or any other in game feature we would have a much superior game.
