When it comes to stuff like this, you've always got to ask yourself how it might be exploited.
Let's face it, given half a chance some people are going to create missions that would, perhaps, yield gigantic credit-rewards or bestow massive naval rank increases etc.
To prevent this, any kind of "creation kit" would need to send prospective content back to FDev for review, where somebody would need to check it thoroughly enough to ensure that, say, an innocent looking mission didn't also insert a T9 nearby which could be exploded and drop a gazillion LTDs.
If FDev did want to solicit contributions from the community, they could start by providing tools to allow people to design paint-jobs and decals, which could be submitted to FDev and, upon approval, the best ones could be inserted in the game (perhaps with part of the revenue going to charity) each month.
Since they'd all be "limited-editions", due to only being around for a month, they'd probably be quite popular.
And, lord know, there are some folks here who've created some STUNNING paint-jobs.
The fact that FDev haven't even bothered with anything as simple as player-generated paint-jobs rather suggests they're not interested in any player contributions.
