If you had ONE bug fix you could wish for, which one would it be?
There's actually one bug I want to come back, mainly because it was a really cool effect.
Years ago, after one of the patches is someone was being interdicted nearby there was a visual effect that you could both see and had a rippling effect. It was cool, although it did happen if any ship got interdicted in the system, even if they were out of range.

Yes, the more players we have in our wing, the more issues we get, with lag, desync, etc. it is far easier to play a wing of 2 than a wing of 4, when it comes to these sort of issues.
megaship looting fix and further improvement towards a complete playstyle, bit similar to heists in GTA V

Is megaship looting broken?
I was bored so I decided to try something I haven't done before. Equipped accordingly, followed all the steps according to art megaship looting... and what? Cargo is stuck in the megaship cargo bay not a single canister is released. After scanning the bay I could see the ship manifest and cargo...

Illegal but not stolen goods incurring the 25% stolen penalty at black markets.
there's one cool bug that they shouldn't fix. If you travel to where your carrier is going to jump but hasn't yet jumped and you get near the exact spot where it's going to jump in and you happen to be in front of the direction it will be moving in. When it begins jumping in, you'll be pushed (presumably by the space-time wave created by the jump?) ....and if you let yourself, you'll be repeatedly "kicked" by this phantom entity ...taking no damage but your velocity will increase each time. You'll end up being pushed the maximum speed possible without being in SC
Getting out from in front of this kick is kinda fun (i think i had to SC out). Though if it was an intentional thing it could probably have been done cooler.

I hear you.that's some incredible reflexes there, man! what ... 4,5 years reaction time?
Thing is, if we don't report bugs but instead only complain about them on the forum then there's zero percent chance of them being fixed. At least with their crappy issue tracker there used to be a tiny chance that a developer might notice it and look into it for us. Screw it tho ... even my patience with this crap has limits it would seem. And the problem now is, with a great many people now fed up with the issue tracker and no longer bothering to use it, I'll bet Frontier still look at it and then think - yay, not many more bugs being reported ... guess we must have fixed them all! 
i think that's the opposite of a bug, but coders minding edge cases and the irrelevant lives of noobs. what i would have done is send you directly to the rebuy screen on carrier arrival, reason: squashed by his own bus.
I hear you.
i know, i was just joking, although the irony is only apparent when understanding who i was addressing. insider joke, then.
you guys have been incredibly dedicated and patient, no developer could expect a better fanbase. i think frontier doesn't really stand up to that, but business is business.
Would be nice if the cargo in mega ships would again spill out after hatch breaking ... Frustrating to have your limpets destroyed one after the other. :/
A better Game Master.Got to say, what really bugged (hur hur) me for some time now is that any gameplay associated with megaships is pretty much off limits because looting is broken, and since I built a few ships with a focus on piracy/salvage, this kind of sucks, like, a lot. A whole gameplay loop that had to be designed and programmed by several people, AWOL, broken, unloved, for what seems to be what.. a year now?
So this would be the one thing I'd want Frontier to fix if they could only address only a single issue in their next patch, whenever that arrives (and obviously not introduce two new bugs in lieu of it
What would be yours? No long lists of bullet points please, because we all know there are many to choose from - pick ONE.
PS - I'm also not talking about wishlists for features that are not (and will likely never be) in the game (Kenneth this disclaimer is for you
I Don't know if bug...
But solo on ps4 to my observation, is more "stable" just feels way better, than Open. More noticeable in populated systems, the worst, in any high traffic area, complete waste of time in CG system. (Meaning unplayable in community goal system, on open)
Please understand it's a great game.
You are awesome people.
Kind of uncertain, if I should even be posting this. Might be against forum rules of naming and shaming? Sorry mods.
