What I want to see are detailed improvements to the "core game."
1. PowerPlay is out, Tier 2 and 3 NPCs and factions are fully integrated into the BGS!
2. Fleshed out Military Careers, with benefits to ranks as well as special military missions!
3. Fleshed out Elite Rankings! (Make each rank promotion in each career a test, not just a counter)
4. Come hell or high water, we're going to fix wings/instancing/multicrew so that we can finally implement...
5. Co-Op missions and gameplay!
6. Conflict Zones fleshed out, as detailed in this post!

7. All those Megaships and Mega Structures/CQC Assets are given purpose in the game for missions and wars. Fierce, entertaining dogfights around all of them!
8. NPC crews, giving a reason for 3 spots in the crew lounge, with co-pilots who can do orbital approaches and dock to an engineer who can fix systems like an AFSU to a science officer who can scan wakes and planets, as well as operate various limpets.
8a. Why not make the NPC's visible in the ship using Holo Mes?
8b. While we're dreaming, let's enable all of these positions for multicrew.
And last and so very least in the game so far...
9. Something for the many, many frustrated Explorers looking for new and exciting things to see and do in deep space, from accretion disks around stars and black holes to comets, asteroids... ancient alien ruins, randomly generated rare natural wonders like Olympus Mons and Grand Canyons on a galactic scale, all which is recorded in an in-game database for other pilots to enjoy. Gameplay additions to scanning, replacing the almighty HONK, multicrew exploration where an exploration crew can work together to analyze their findings. Oh hell, just go into the Exploration forum and dig up the top 10 requests there, and just do ONE of them.
9a. And for god's sakes fix the beige plague already.
Think this is asking too much? Probably.
So my expectation is that like others well see a lot of Jurassic Coaster related stuff, but for ED we'll only hear some things "they'd love to do" from "the list," soon(TM).
