This has probably been suggested a million times but ill post it up in the hope than on the Million +1, Someone takes notice! 
I think the Idea of introducing larger Wings in the form of "Fleets" could be an interesting idea, as it currently stands a wing is made up of 4 solo player ships OR Multi-Crew which is made up of 3 people and is incompatible with the "Wings" features....Now, what id like to see is the option to combine Multi-Crew and Wings to create a "Fleet" for example a "Fleet" could consist of 3 Corvettes, all with 2 Multi-Crew Passengers each either flying fighters or controlling guns, making a total of say, 9 players.
I think this could make for a very interesting dynamic with the growth of player factions, It could add to the "RP" of a situation, a rescue fleet heading out to support in a battle or a fleet of ships escorting a large trade transaction, this of course would work both ways, opening up for the opportunity of large group based missions, in an almost "Raid" styled fashion where the Risk is big, but so are the rewards...Assassinating a target that is well defended or hitting an enemy factions trade supplies etc. Even possibly a combination of both utilizing the follow on missions and mission linking system.
This alongside the new and mysterious Thargoid threat could make for large Thargoid hunting parties, Exploratory missions, research runs and so on, Opening up the ability to let players interact with each other and the Thargoid army on a scale larger than "This is my ship, That is your ship" i believe it would also encourage players to communicate and play together to achieve a larger, more fulfilling goal, giving people a little more content to take a crack at.
Thats just my Two-Cents of course, i think it could make for a new and interesting take on Elite and pave the way for large scaled, Capital ship level battles
