Greetings Commanders! (and hopefully at least one developer - fingers crossed)
I'm going to be posting a few threads today of suggestions I have made on Reddit and Twitter, as I've been advised that this is where they're most likely to be seen. I'm going to try to be as concise as possible as I don't want to waste anyone's time. I absolutely love Elite, and my mind is constantly bristling with new ideas and suggestions. I hope that you like them.
1. Wing Beacon should be on by default. There's is no reason it should ever really be off, it's never not useful. At least let us choose the default.
2. "SPEEDING" should take priority over "HOSTILE" in the bottom right corner. Knowing that you're in hostile PP territory is pretty pointless in all honesty.
3. We need to be able to yaw (in mid-air) in SRV's. I don't understand why we can't. The Scarab looks physically capable of it, and it would make driving SO much more fun and fluid.
4. Being able to use a heatsink while launching from a damaged starport would be very useful, but this is a less important request.
5. The ability to cancel a launch when transferring to surface or turning the landing platform around. I always realise that I forgot something just as I hit "Launch".
6. Show some Mission Details in the galaxy map. I posted this months ago but it's still a problem. Why can't I see which mission is in a system while in Galaxy Map? I shouldn't have to keep switching to the Transactions screen.
7. Show the Security of a system in the little info panel in the galaxy map. No reason not to.
8. Show what system a mission is in within the Transaction screen without having to open the mission and scroll down. Also allow us to sort the transaction screen by System, Mission Type, Time Left etc.
9. Add a permanent HUD indicator that shows whether you're in Standard or Alternate controls. I know that it flashes up for a second, but there should be a little A or S somewhere on your screen.
10. Move the "IMPACT" warning to somewhere more prevalent, like where "SLOW DOWN" appears. A lot of the time, I don't even notice.
11. Add in some kind of reward for repairing/refuelling NPC ships in Distress Calls or Weapons Fired USS. It's ridiculous that they just fly away without even a thank you.
12. Let us filter Passenger Missions by Sightseeing, A - B, and Data Collection.
13. Add a HUD indicator for your Ship Lights so I know if they're on or not.
14. Either add racks that can fit scanners and docking computers without wasting a class 4 slot on a class 1 module, or add autodocking as a feature to all ships that you can toggle on or off, OR let us request a "Tug Limpet" from the station. It could cost a few credits, maybe 200cr, and it would act like autodocking.
And finally 15. Please add a Queue system to manual docking. It's been suggested many times, because it's a good idea. Please implement it.
