Hello ED Comunity!
So far it's been great to see how the game are coming more and more complex since kickstarter, but some things are making me sad to see. I know some features are just to make sure that Frontier get some income, but: Engine Colors, Ship painttings, Weapon Colors and on and on...
Well, Imho, I can't compare ED with SC. But somethings that i'll list below are things that SC have more freely.
And I wish we could have a more indepth roadmap. Right now we are in version 3. So whats planned for version 4 and 5?
What i hope is coming next?
When Frontier added aliens, IMPOV, i thought that they were having dificulties in deliver the big changes. I understand that changing something that is already in to something better/improved, is not a easy task to do, but what we have is already stable and pretty fine! That's why i wonder why we don't have a roadmap like: right now we're in 3.0.2. So I wanna know what's coming for 4.0 and 5.0! It's a big company! They have this planned! The thing is: I only see a small roadmap.
Well... remember that is just my humble opnion! Please share yours!

- Regarding the economy, ships should be manufactured in factory stations! The amount of technology, parts, ores that the players must transport to those would be massive for the productions.
- Regarding the item above, the game need Carriers! Those beast would transport brand new ships from factory stations to the other stations. Would be nice if i pay a fee to transport my ship stored in some system to another by a Carrier.
- Well... its a simulator right? i know there are other concepts of stations, but how those cubical/cylinder stations store all the ships!? When the feature to allow us to walk with our character comes, i wish i can go to the "hangar" sector and see the ships inside.
- Big Cities! SC already manage to do it. Shouldn't be so hard using procedural city. But i know the effort they have to put on it.
- This one really makes me mad! Why, but why the final touch on the landing pad, gotta be automatic? i have that snaping animation! If i'm using docking computer, i totally understand, but i never use it! so make it free!!! add a control to lock the landing gear to the pad, so when the pad moves inside, the ship stays on it! I love this on SC. Please do it too!
- I wish i could see the cargo coming in or out of my ship. Tons of cargo doesn't fly from the ship to the station by just clicking in the buy/sell button in the marketplace.
- As same as the item above, the passengers must be a ghost to be deliver by just clicking a button on the passenger lounge. Jesus... I really wanna see this kind of realism.
