I know we are only on v1.03 of the game. For all we know, the developers could be working on these ideas right now. But if they aren't, here are my suggestions that could be added to the game in future releases:
Salvaging
You find a canister floating in space, you scoop it up...it's now considered stolen. This could be adjusted in the following manner:
1. Buy a salvage license. For xxxx amount of credits you have a license to salvage things floating in space.
2. With said salvage license, the floating debris has to be out in space...unclaimed for xxxx amount of minutes. This gives the "owner" time to return to reclaim their property. If the timer is expired...it's up for grabs.
3. Said salvage license needs to be renewed after xxxx amount of cargo tonnage is returned. (This part may or may not be left out.)
4. Another route for this is a "Lost and found" department. You can return it to a space station for a "Lost & found" reward which could include a rep bonus.
Picking up stray debris in space & being marked as a thief needs fixed. Hopefully the developers will take this to another level. This part is too cut & dry.
Station to station transports
It would be nice to be able to catch a transport, for a fee, to another station. Or maybe "rent" a shuttle to get you there. It would cool to be able to move your "fleet" of ships from one system to another. With this being mentioned....
Ship Transports
Pay a fee to have your ships moved from one system to another.
External views
This would be nice. I refuse to buy any painting skins for my ship. What's the point? I can't see them! And I'm not interested in spending anything on them if only another player can see them. Bad marketing right there.
Commodity tracker
I won't go into this one. We all know this needs worked on. Just putting this out there...again.
I'll come up with others. But off the top of my head right now, this is what I'm thinking about.
