Well, to this point I've pretty much confined myself to the Beta forum - but I thought I'd take a venture out for a while to get away from the arguments on 'griefing', PvP vs PvE, and moaning about how hard it is to dock.
I've been really excited by the notion that in releases further down the line, we'll be able to explore planets and potentially walk around in first person.. there may be similar threads elsewhere, but I just thought I'd put forward my own personal wishlist for this completely different strand of the game that we are yet to see or really have much information on, other than some imaginings from DB.
Some of these have been talked about already... some are probably too far-fetched to even contemplate... some may have some crossover with other titles - but this is the sort of universe I'd like to live in!
That sort of covers it for me... (maybe ignore the last one).

- Customisable ship interiors - being able to 'paint' or add items to the cockpit and other areas of the ship.
- 'Home' - being able to purchase an apartment in which to store things and be able to customise
- Interactive 1st person experience with other commanders and NPCs.
- 1st person terrestrial missions - gameplay for reward or advancement based purely on a planet (or started on one planet, completed on another).
- 1st person combat
- Cities, villages, ports - I want to see all of these things and be able to explore them!
- Terrestial mining - either in your ship or 1st person, it'd be great to be able to mine somewhere other than in space!
- Customisable commander clothes - purchasable from different areas of the universe
- Proximity comms - to be able to voice-chat with those in your immediate locale (Planetside style)
- Starting your own trading post - creating your own port or shop where other commanders could come to trade goods (or try to steal from)
- Communities - imagine being to construct your own village or settlement with like-minded players/groups/guilds. Living quarters units could be built as standard 'blocks' and laid down.. landing pads, air defenses - even a system whereby access is only granted to those who you give rights to.
- Weapons labs - the ability to design your own weapons, committing research and materials to create something custom.
- Physical trophies/rewards/medals for different achievements in-game that you are able to display in your 'home' or in your ship. Pirate kills, trade awards, contractor achievements - these could also be displayed against your profile. They would also potentially unlock further strands of narrative/missions
- Faction elders/Council - vast experience/alligiances are rewarded with entry to a 'council' helping to vote on and shape large political decisions within the universe.
- Being able to replace the bobblehead with a Magic Tree air freshener
That sort of covers it for me... (maybe ignore the last one).
