These are ideas/suggestions, some might have been made already. For longevity of the game and fun perhaps some of you might agree or might not.
I would like to see other things than money rewarded for missions, say item of equipment or other trade goods, equipment might be good to get rare items or when just starting out? maybe even a quest line style that rewards a ship? (possible like a faction thing) Story lines makes things interesting.
I would also like to see story lines/mission you can follow in the different main factions that you could do and gain ranks in the faction (reputation) leading to different faction specific items that you could buy/ get given.
I am not sure i like the effect used for jump from system to system, it looks kinda like a wormhole, I think i would prefer more of a shifting everything blurs heading backwards sort of thing. On this i would also like a "jumping computer" that can do multiple jumps with out having to input in and do the separate ones, sort of like a docking computer but for doing more than 1 jump in a row? (ease of life idea). On this some way to get to friends quicker, I was thinking as we have an effect that looks like a worm hole , why not have artificial worn holes. Now these would be only generally on the "know space" which should be a certain distance around the sol system and only at certain spots but roughly speaking evenly spread out and about the same distance from each other give or take 10 star systems. This would be easier to get around least in the "explored" and inhabited part of galaxy. With more being built the further the galaxy is populated
This then leads me to the "known" galaxy, why are the humans apparently all over the galaxy? How did they get there? Surely there must be a theoretical distance humans could have got to and it is not the whole galaxy. That distance should be the max range of space stations, though if you had a way to create artificial worm holes that would expand quicker as you would be able to get close to the "frontier" quicker. Then after that it would be exploration , mining and likely pirates (you would require a fuel scoop or get stuck, over time these star systems would gain space stations.)
This then also leads me to another thought, surely humans would not be the only race out there, at some point you could well expect to meet aliens, alien ships, alien tech alien space stations etc (though this might be more an expansion) I would like to see that with hostile and peaceful aliens (though not too many. Mind i know this is likely on the horizon as original had a hostile race, and i have seen mention of it)
On this another thing that could be useful is a postal/courier move my ship service and storage area for equipment so you could send and retrieve equipment (not trade stuff though) i realise it might not be necessary for equipment but being able to move that stored ship might be very useful, or be able to travel to a stored ship. How that would work i am not sure but might require some time or money? For moving ship money and time to move it would be fine, for travelling to a stored ship might be more tricky.
When they do first person walking around ships/stations and planets, I would like to be able to explore wrecks for tech and equipment maybe? or when destroy a ship taken in the "scrap" and find possible usable equipment, it might require repairs first, do able on certain space stations.
Finally, apart from a way to get to friends (might be worm hole, only usable by certain size ships maybe? regenerates every hour? (or 1 time a day maybe?) , a group mission/ storylines, which would be harder that solo stuff, such as take out this pirate base station! (required grouping) where you could get cash and items maybe from completion maybe takes from 5 to 10 people? Get mission , worm holed to area then find it (possible like the unknown signal mechanism, but for groups and that group only) go in have have fun! (again might be expansion or development later)
Anyway just a few thoughts.
Thanks
