I disagree. There are plenty of proposals that have had some love, but fall well short of the DDA proposals. Take wings, for example, as an example of one that is pew-pew oriented, and thus FD have done work on it. But there is an awful lot more that was in the wings proposal than we got, including all the supporting stuff (bulletin boards, financial agreements, ranking, probability of baling out, and so on) for having NPCs in wings. If we as a community are going to try to nail what we want for FD, then I would suggest that you need to ask folks for other things to add to the list. For example, I would still like to see the transponder, since the 'flashing blue light' has certainly encouraged all the behaviours that we expected it would. Now that as a subject certainly split the community, and was one of very few where there were large numbers dead against a compromise (which is what the transponder is) who insisted that their way was the only way.
What DDF Proposals would you like to see Frontier work on?

I wanted to do more than the 10 here ... there simply wasn't enough left in the DDF archive not already in the game.

No reason we can't do another poll, but let's give this one a chance now it's going.
Advertise for more. I bet you get at least 30.
If something as trivial as naming ships gets an entry on the list, I'm sure we can come up with plenty more.
If people want to nominate more for the next poll, please do. I welcome it.
It's often those 'trivial' things that greatly enhance the game experience!
Oh, I agree. But it is also so trivial to do (actually, given the effort they went through to capture ship names from the backers, it was inexcusable that they did not make it to the game for the first release). I would, personally, not 'waste' a vote on a small feature, just in case FD do look at these polls and act on them to some extent. I don't want there to be an easy excuse to do ship naming instead of one of the bigger ones like exploring, and thus 'freeing up' resources for 'son of powerplay'.
Sadly, I think it's too late to rescue exploring.
I must have missed that - or my frazzled old brain has forgotten it (which is more likely).

Just to add: when I say 'ship naming' I'd hope that would include a registration number, ship history, etc.
I actually just looked at the original Kickstarter Campaign page for a reward level mentioning ship naming, but couldn't find it.
But for some reason this rings a bell... AnnuverScotinExile - please grant us enlightenment!
What about VR support too.

Sorry too deep in the KS archive to find that link

Oh right, I know that thread.
Sorry still cannot find the link in KS <my head hurts> but do remember thinking! during KS more about a good ship name than my Cmdr name.
The backers application had a field for us to enter our ship names, as there was with our commander names. They then went (or, I believe they went) through a vetting process. I entered by chosen ship name in that field. If you look at one of the (probably multitude of) old threads on 'what have you named your ship', I would expect that you would find people discussing that.
Not at my level (£80) it didn't - you certain about that?
I have Commander Name and NPC Name ... no ship name.

Not that I know of ... I might redo the poll at some point with new options ... vote again then
