And as a complete aside, I want to rescue / help 'Junior the dolphin' again, and appear in one of the newspapers - they were really good, and what I think ED is missing, Galnet just doesn't do it for me.
I've finally put my finger on what ED is missing.

This... the politically correct are running the show lately and its going to force everyone into a mundane docile beige unemotional wreck.
I heard the other day that "applause" now is offensive to some people and insensitive to the autistic people.
Its getting out of hand and the only way to fight back is to teach people if they don't like it, leave, close your eyes, play a different game, sure go ahead and complain about it. But you cannot CHANGE other people you can only change yourself.

I was amused (and even somewhat surprised!) by Elvira Martuuk inviting me to "Tell me what you want me to work on. Yes commander, I mean the module" 
But yes, there doesn't seem to be as much of the not-taking-ourselves-too-seriously humour that Frontier and FFE had in some cases. Maybe I just haven't found it!

You've never encountered that notorious criminal Hugh Jarse, I take it?
Oh, plenty of those, for sure
My first encounter with amusing npc names was an invitation to "kill notorious criminal Michael Gove", which had me staring at the screen for a while! (I can't take the phrase "notorious criminal" seriously, either. The "Life of Brian" has much to answer for..)
When I do the Tourist Missions I always give an announcement out that sadly the on-board toilets are not working and sadly for any inconvenience to my passengers. bit like some of the uk train operating companies do. When they really are not sorry.
Been able to self destruct your ship is funny.

Yes now some of the NAMES of the pilots I've encountered have been fantastic but all of those were written by us the people.
We need something FUN in the game that is POSITIVE not all about killing or defending your life.
ZING
Yeah honestly that part of the game .. infuriates so many people. I don't need full newtonian but please.. try..
Putting finger on something that is missing ...... I was expecting you to say you've discovered the insta-win button under your pilot seat
You're so right. I fell off my chair when I read about it. Obviously I wasn't personally involved.
Somebody here used to have an avatar with a game image of an NPC called TROUSERS announcing "I'm about to drop down"
Personally, there are quite a few NPC names that really make me smile, but I've seen forum posts in the past where commanders have complained it breaks their "immurshun". How do you please everybody?

Instawin is not what we want. We want fun. Its a game. We want immersion and adventure and discovery. We want challenge. But the risk/reward has always been completely off. Increasing reward isn't a big deal as long as you add some gold sinks into the game so that if people want they literally can gamble all their gains away. Since credits are our gold they just need to make bigger more expensive things to buy but keep the upgrade train reachable. Make missions well paying. Make it so that you dont' need to grind for a week to get an upgrade or search forums to find a good money making endeavor.
Can't wait for the codex..
That meme isn't pointed any anyone here. Just in general
bada bing
That thargoid is huge look at all the space it takes up...
Witch space?
Ya think? I thought it was painfully obvious that Elite took itself too seriously and had its nose quiet far up its own ar** !
Don't want Benny Hill although that would be funny if you heard yakity sax playing while the cops are chasing you...
Somebody needs to make a video of a ship being chased by an increasing number of system authority vessels that they have annoyed in some fashion and put yakkity sax over the top of it
I wonder if Yamiks is reading this... 
An interesting perspective by the OP. I've always thought that the game has this subtle sense of humour that might even turn some people away because they thought the game should me more 'serious'. So it's interesting to me to see someone say that the game needs more humour - fascinating. Rather than the OP or myself being right or wrong, I think this says more about different people's perspectives and the diversity of cultural backgrounds than anything else.
