General Important QoL impovements

[Outsider_1483]

Dear FD, as 1000+ hours player i am ready to share my thoughts. (and sorry for my english)
1) Automation is absolutely needed, especially for repeated activities like signal sources, so please, make a shortcut for supercruise assist to make if active by default (or atleast keybind), many people waiting for this for almost 2 years; Same for docking request, in my opinion every action must have keybind.
2) NPC crew should recieve payment daily like carrier's crew, even 10% of all transactions are insane.
3) Limpets could be integrated into controller module, so no need for cargo slots, for example 5-10 of them on board depending on controller level, and they can refual and repair automaticly when on board.
4) Ships should able to be stored in shipyard with all cargo onboard.
5) Docking computer and supercruise assist can be combined in one module or even better these functions can be in any ship by default.
Thank you for reading. Like if you agree, let them see this.
6) Different HUD colors and ingame audio player.

A word about repetive tasks - the're a core of this game.

No, its routine, people want to relax in games, not another work.
If you like doing everything this way you can keep doing everything manually, but others should have options for automation.

So for 3, no because some limpet controllers and activities actually take 100s of limpets, i dont wanna be limited to 20 gathering limpets when i go out to mine that wont even fill up my cargo a thrid before they are all dead.

2 then dont hire crew, you dont need crew, and the onlything they are good for, fighters, dont even offer that much DPS to begin with, and further more even at 10% which is a maxed rank elite pilot brought up from harmless is not even noticeable. I will say that they should not be getting a cut if they are just chilling in the lounge.

for 1 im not really sure what you are asking for here. Docking request is such a simple task a hot key for it makes no sense, and im sure its out there where you can make a switch board that does it.

I think the first idea is very solid here, not sure why I have a hotkey to dump all of my cargo but need to engage supercruise assist by opening a panel and rooting around for my destination.

It's also a pretty solid call that someone who is just chilling in a bar on retainer should not be making 10% of your mining haul, though I think this is just a tiny sliver of a much larger issue with the credit economy and a lack of game systems to engage with being solved with overhead costs, so it may need to be part of a larger fix.

Your final suggestion with regard to limpets seems reasonable at face value but would dramatically alter ship builds - again, not a problem on its own but it would be better to overhaul the state of ship outfitting and the massive disparities introduced by engineers all at once instead of attempting to cure individual symptoms.

Overall good suggestions and I would personally love to see the first item implemented as soon as possible. Thanks!

2 then dont hire crew

Nice workaround, thank you.

Nice opinion, thank you.

For supercruise assist toggle.

some limpet controllers and activities actually take 100s of limpets, i dont wanna be limited to 20

Agreed with this, but still dont understand why they cant be refueled and repaired, why drones cant be counted as controller ammunition instead of filling cargo hold.
Other 2 must be in the game already for ages, in my opinion.
