Ok, now that we have the launch behind us, what is the first thing FD will do next?

Most important thing imho are:
- easier comms
- wings
- better group and multiplayer handling
- alliance mechanisms

Playing with others is really complicated and clunky.
 
Well I think they're working on post-release updates on getting content that did not make it in for release (like the missing ships).
 
tempted to write "how about some content?" but that'd be silly so... way more mission types at different tiers, actual npc's, the persistent ones. I have yet to meet one. Make me feel some sort of connection to these missions.

But to be honest I'd settle for a manual explaining the mechanics and improving the information the player is provided with. Like module stats, some numbers on the reputation thing etc. and explaining those mechanics properly.
 
So far, I get the feeling the responses are mainly one of the following:
* Multiplayer improvements
* Mission improvements
* Mining improvements

Continued tweaks, bugfixing etc are "no-brainers", but as far as major features having an impact on the game in general I would sure hope we get planetary landing as a feature pretty soon.
The easy way to do it at this point would be to require "atmospheric shielding" to land on planets with atmosphere and then NOT making that item available. So we'd get to land on barren planets with no atmosphere. "Well whats the point with that?" - you ask?

The way I see it, it could be used to extend all the stuff from the list mentioned above.

*Imagine having PvP battles over planetary surfaces.. in some large canyon... ort inside a dead volcano... I think it would be pretty cool
*Missions could be extended to "find me that rebel base on this or that planet", stuff like that..
*Mining could be done on the surface of the planet.
 
My vote would go to:

-fix the commodity trading
-either external cameras or whatever means to take a screenshot of space without the ship cockpit in the way.
-Make mining fun, it's not.
 
Improve mining please. Now it's very tiring as you have to waste at least 4 hours to find the worthy minerals, even at low percentages.

Mining is fine , you just have to find a place and after you can mine chunks like this for weeks .

Mission variety and also make the reputation with local factions go up faster. I have spent literally whole day in one system doing missions for one faction and I am still neutral, despite getting "up" arrow to reputation each time.
 
My wish list

1) External view ... I don't care if you have to limit its use just get the damn thing in the game. At least rear and side views.. I dont care if its a PTZ camera on the roof.
2) Exploration improvements
3) Mining improvements
4) Supercruise improvements
5) TRADE HISTORY
6) PILOTS LOG
7) Galaxy map bookmarks

That is the short list..

very much inline with this post

also

8) option to get rid of the GUI and
9) orrery
10) option to see the clock in the cockpit

I think that just about covers it for me too, maybe in a different order...slightly but I am being lazy
Although the GUI bit, do you mean for screenshots / videos etc or? ;)
