First of all, This post is a record of what i have been experiencing since game release. I want it very clear that I love this Game. I will be playing it as long as I am alive. 
Second of all, These are my personal experiences and I realize that others may not experience the same.
If some of these items have been dealt with already, please except my apologies. My goal with this post is to Make Frontier aware of the simple things and how important they are to me as a dedicated Elite Dangerous Commander.
If you read and agree with any of these items, Please say so. Perhaps even add to the list your own experiences that seem odd to you. Other wise thanks for reading / listening and have a great day Fellow Commanders. Carry on.
1. The way I jump into a new ship. Sometimes I am forced to go through the whole docking process again after swapping ships in the shipyard. The wait is long enough to get into outfitting as it is.
2. Assassination missions: chasing down informant is a redundant drag immersion breaking. Travel to the system given in the mission, only to find that I have to go to another system to find the informant that then leads me to come back to the same system I was sent to in the first place.
3. Bribes to take goods else where. Alternate Destinations. Makes no sense. I don't know who they come from or what faction it's against or why the offer it. So I just decline and go along my merry way.
4. Receiving already ended deadlines that arrive expired.
5. Launcher Play button does not react to clicking on it so I end up clicking on it more than once to make sure I got it.
6. Needing to close the "power play cycle imminent" message after every re-log with in the same day or Half day time period.
7. Passenger Missions menu covers the system clock display in the station menu's. Overlay of some sort.
8. Not every passenger mission is consistent in information or details of the mission when browsing offers from faction leaders.
9. With in the Contacts Menu, at the station, The Cursor jumps to the right panel on it's own. Very annoying. PC version.
10. While Exiting the station, I am told verbally, that I can not enter without requesting to dock. Say What ??
11. Super Cruise Lines that are on the left and right sides of my view are taking up my precious screen view (why not just use a simple blinking box on left and right sides. We would still have an indicator showing us in super cruise, but now we can have a great view out our cockpit of this beautiful Galaxy.
12. While flying over an empty Dock inside a space station, I get a warning message for blocking a pad immediately. Shouldn't there be a delay before hearing this message? I only block it for a second.
13. Ships and Beacons that don't move when I bump them breaks immersion for me.
14. Loosing throttle after dropping out from Hyperspace or from super cruise.
15. Seeing the inside of a station appear before my eyes as I look into the mail slot from the outside.
16. Not being able to read the right panel very well while docked at a station and in the cockpit of my Cutter. It's too bright.
17. The Audio for the Crew while they are in the Fighter, is Ridiculous. They sound panic'd. Why? They are flying Virtually presumably sitting next to me on the bridge. so it's just the ship that will be lost not their life. Then there's the fact that the audio is so far behind what actually happens anyway.
18. Interdiction's always pull me away from my target. They never pull me past or to the left or right of my target so it's predictable.
19. Dropping from Glide, I always have to throttle back up.
20. If the only dock for my ship is occupied, after The ship that occupied it leaves, I can immediately request dock and have access to dock at any outpost. Even though the Dock is not ready for me.
21. Role Panel is Clunky to use. It's repetitive and it's broken while choosing commands like Attack or Defend.
22. In Galaxy Map, I have to zoom in to accurately select an system or planet or station manually. I it would be nice if the zoom part was automatic.
23. Waiting to make a jump to super cruise. All requirements are met, but the ship don't jump for several seconds. a really long wait, too long of a wait. Waiting too long for what ?? I don't know.
24. Switching from Open to Solo while docked at a station. The change over screen shows me outside the station before it switches.
25. Not being able to see how many passengers I can hold total like I can with Cargo. Example: 8 / 120 passenger cabins loaded.
26. Having to delete all players in History listing (one at a time) collected while in Open play mode. I would like to choose whether or not it remembers players while in open.
27. Jumping to super cruise and not being able to see the target that I am jumping to within the same system. (if I deselect the station I had targeted to dock at, then I can see my next target). Bug ?
28. Charging my Advanced D.Scanner only to have it disengage midway through the scan because I look at my left or right panel. Same with Mining, Mining lasers stop drilling when I look at my left or right panel.
29. I'm Tired of seeing that Square on the planets that acts like a shadow gone wrong (big black square shaped). I can see it when I first pop into the System map on each planet as well then it disappears.
30. I am tired of navigating the menu's and more often than not, selecting the wrong thing due to the selector being slower than the mouse on my Pc.
31. I am tired of not being able to pick up materials in a USS's that has a ship or something else in it. The material is located inside the ship or other object, and can't be scooped up.
32. Getting fined for blocking the station entrance while exiting the station. If I block the station entrance, then reverse back into station away from entrance, the station flight control does not recognize that I am no longer blocking the entrance and fines me.
33. Being Told by Flight Control that my landing gear is not down. If my landing gear is not down, I will figure it out for myself eventually... seeing how I can't dock until I do. Also, the message (Your landing gear is not down) is delivered after I Dock.
34. Having to continually press the fire button while mining. This hurts my hand after a while. I would rather press and release, but still have the mining lasers shoot at the asteroid and Press again to stop. Ergonomic related.
Thank you Frontier for your time and efforts put into this game. It's potential is Astounding.
Fly Safe.
