I'd like to see a new game variant: Elite: Dangerous Arcade.
No grind: Every hour, each player's account is reset to 10 billion credits and all materials are maxed out. Report crimes is always OFF. Jump range is unlimited (jump to any star or planet, so no need for super-cruise). Instant free ship and module transfer. Instant everything, just like most other PvP games. Play on a separate server, exactly like a beta test. Ships can transfer from main game, but not back.
The best part of this idea is that it would provide relief from all the angst of those who want instant gratification and those who want a slower game with real challenges. When someone new to the forum requests "moar muny" or an end to super-cruise, we could point them to the game variant that they are most likely to enjoy.
Both "camps" would be happy and a lot of the incompatible requests would be resolved.
