So, I'm out exploring again, and I've got just a few things that would make the game so much more enjoyable...none are major things requiring a complete overhaul of the game...
It's not a lot...
I want the external camera to allow me to take beautiful screenshots - it can be a third-party view where I get shots of my ship (oh yes please, please please!), but even just a camera mounted on the ship to be able to take shots without canopy clutter would be fantastic. Until now I have coped by just taking shots through the top of my Asp's canopy, then cropping them down, but I'm seeing significant canopy smear even on the top now, and it is so frustrating to have a beautiful shot with canopy smears evident on it. Please FDev, let me share the full beauty of this game with others!
I want to be able to reselect my route after leaving SC...if I go to the galaxy map after this, I can see my route still dialled in, unfortunately once I leave SC there is no way to select the next waypoint from the list of destinations, and if I manually select it from the galaxy map, it overwrites the current route. Such an annoying bug, and it has actually deterred me from dropping out of SC to take the aforementioned screenshots, because I knew I'd need to remap my route if I did.
And great, we can plot 1000 Ly routes! Now if I need to log out (or if the game crashes!) half way through that journey, that means next time when I log in, I need to find the destination and replan the route...why? What possible reason for this is there? Why can't my route be saved data?
Oh - and when I am out exploring, I am thousands of Ly away - this prevents me from experiencing any other aspect of the game for possibly weeks at a time. I cannot enjoy community events, I cannot take a berak from exploring and do some missions, trading, bounty hunting, etc, I am locked in to exploring and nothing else. If I had a second slot for another CMDR I could explore with my main character, and still participate with the other in events and other activities.
That's it...for me anyway. If you're an explorer, what would you like right now?

An external camera to take hi-res screenshots(Edit: YAY! coming in 1.2!!)- Being able to reselect my currently planned route if I drop out of SC
- Remembering my currently planned route between game sessions
- An extra CMDR slot...
