This thread is inspired by Viajero's post in another thread on the DDF :

I believe there are tons of elements of the DDA and dev diaries that have actually been delivered and in some cases, like SuperCruise mechanics, surpassed original plans. I think it is important not to forget that, especially when you consider that it has all been done so far in under 2 years and change.

Having said that I agree that not knowing FDEV plans for the rest can be unsettling for some. What is missing compared to the DDA is known, and we could eventually summarize it here relatively easily.

But I think the real value in this thread would be to actually propose priorities on those, based on the posters interest, for FDEV to eventually consider. Other than that, and given the DDA was never a guarantee of anything, this thread is just another "I want MOAR" thread I am afraid.

OK, so let's say IF Frontier were to read this, and IF they were to take this poll as an indication of what the community wants ...

Which of the following DDF features, taken from the DDF Archive would you like to see Frontier develop and possibly add into the game.
You get three votes. The poll will not close.

Here are links to the DDF Proposals should you care to read them first and make an informed choice.

Player To Player Trading
Persistant NPCs
Background Simulation
ShipNaming
Player Logs
Smuggling
Exploring
Passengers
Salvaging
Ship Crews

I would have added more DDF proposals, but the ones I haven't added are too similar to what is already in the game, this is pretty much what is left.

EDIT: Options to add in a poll if I or someone does another one of these:

Ironman mode
Three Commander slots
X-Box controller layout
NPC Wingmen for hire
Module Storage
Transponder
More in-depth gameplay / greater depth to gameplay

Can you think of others? Suggest them for the next poll!

I'll do the next poll when Frontier announce what's in the next update or their announcement at Gamescon in August.

I'm hoping this is useful community feedback that Frontier can actually see and use to shape the game more to how we're all on a rose-tinted-glasses reminiscence in the other thread, which to be fair, isn't really useful to Frontier.

And it was Viajero's idea so blame him/her
 
Ironman .. give your journey through the game some meaning as being immortal is dull as dishwater.
I considered Ironman in the poll, but it was at the very end of another proposal and I didn't want to confuse things.
 
Yeah, all the above. Except maybe exploration - not sure what's in that category, I'll take a look. But exploration seems OK for me - lot of bug-fixing needed of course, but I think it's feature-complete.

Edit: OK, scratch that. There are quite a few great ideas in that thread for exploration.

Still voted, but (aimed at others too) everyone who creates polls always skews the options to their own thought process - cant be helped I guess - which is why I generally find them to be irksome ;)
 
1.. Exploration.

Given that FD went to great lengths to create a 1:1 scale galaxy, and were proud to announce that they've given their players the largest environment in gaming history, its puzzling that they made it so easy to traverse & explore and so devoid of anything meaningful.

2.. NPC crews would be a close second for me, if only to help me feel that I'm part of a living breathing world (of course that would mean crews would have to be somehow interactive, and not just mannequins there to fill a spare seat).
7 months of gameplay in a world with millions of NPCs, and I'm yet to see another human face.

Seeing FD work on NPC crews would be something I'd really look forward to :cool:
