I like how you can judge the strength of a planet's gravity based on your SRV wheels. On low g worlds like this one, the thrusters angle up to give you traction. ~1 g they are horizontal. On high g, they thrust down so you can move.

For me, it's the entirety of Elite's sound design. It's flat out amazing.
From ships all having different thruster sounds, to the creeking and shuddering they sometimes do when accelerating or decelerating, to the huge drop in sound when the canopy blows (for obvious reasons), to the vast echoing sounds inside a large station, to the sounds of entering and exiting hyperspace.
Seriously, the lead sound designer for this game deserves an award.

Black box with flight logs and explo data.
There's already some bloke out there in the black past Jacques.
Killing explorers in his cutter.
It would be nice to reward him with the ability to find the black box and get your explo data.
But then we could have options like encrypt the data (which might then put a limit on how much explo data you can collect in the first place) or even have dummy black boxes that are toxic explosive or viral in some way.
I want Player beacons.
Something that takes up cargo space.
Appears as a beacon and can transmit ASCII text when scanned.

I noticed tonight for the first time that the holographic adverts outside the Station entrance have floating limpet robots to project them instead of from a fixed point on the station. It was a wow moment and I bounced off another Ship in the process!
Someone mentioned it earlier, but when a sexy northern English voice says "Welcome Lakon Sierra Oscar November" I feel like I am home. And I'm a southerner!

I am "Mike, Romeo, Charlie" (Mr Crown Vic P71).
I love this way of picking up contact!
The animation that is used to build the side panels and the different tabs. Is there a slow motion video about it?
As it build up from triangle shapes? Always reminds me of Deus Ex

In VR, look very closely (inches away) from your left hand, at the hundreds of tiny stitches on the light grey patch.
Sound sound sound. Brilliant, FD.
Too many other things to list. Fantastic thread. Hope it grows forever.

And let's not forget the insane detail on how the actual advertisements are made up of tiny holo "leds".
Has anyone got an explanation, why only the outer frame of the Windows freeze? I guess for obvious gameplay reasons (you wouldn't see a thing with silent running and a few heat sinks), but still...Details are also some sensible explanations we can come up.
This is with 4% Heat Output...Life Support is the only thing, that's running. (and of course the PP)

The HUD is in 3D, positionned all over the dashboard. Best seen in VR (I think Obsidian Ant's mentions it in a video from a few months ago).

It's ambiant background noise from the planet.

I mean actual music
If you muted the game's music, there is no music, it's ambient sounds.
============
I might add the ambiant noise and chatter around stations. I recorded a couple hours of just parking on a surface port in high-quality audio, just to enjoy the atmosphere and details out of the game.
