Making exploration more interesting

Finding artefacts like superior ship equipment, which cannot be bought on stations in outer space would be a blast.
 
Yes. Or add them as reward for more difficult missions (read long and expensive). Make them go away and revert to standard after death.
 
I like the idea that there be equipment that isn't purchasable and not insured, that would be awesome. Make ship specs individually unique, raise the stakes for combat, and add rewards to almost every profession (have miners come across unique rock that can be used to turn into unique equipment while mining, have explorers come across them deep in the black in random instances surrounding earth like worlds, have factions give permits to stations that has an unique item in their outfitting display). I think maybe Eve does stuff that's similar, but that's something that can add to gameplay in my opinion. Granted, this kind of change is pretty deep in the game engine (I'm guessing), but there's ways to do it, I think. Anything that is beyond the typical paint your ship a different color, to add to the personal feel of the game. It makes immersion more powerful and better, and in my opinion would make a vastly better game.
