A warning tone or voice message that plays the first time you close to within 10s eta of your targeted destination. Once played it won't play again regardless of changes of range, unless you unlock and re-lock the destination.
I can't could the number of times I have missed my stop because I glanced away for a few moments

Detailed scans should highlight areas of potential volcanism, rare materials and artificial objects on planetary surfaces.
Also, crashed ships and debris should be much, much, much less common, spawning at maybe 1% of the rate they currently do, and even less outside the bubble. In fact, outside of inhabited space they should be virtually impossible to just stumble upon. It just feels so unimmersive and shallow that they appear everywhere; you can simply start driving on an undiscovered moon hundreds of light years from the nearest port and quickly happen upon a crashed SRV or Sidewinder and cargo littered about. Enhanced detailed scans would mean you'd still be able to encounter them given the huge area of the scan, but you'd feel like it was something you'd actively tracked down and discovered rather than just tripping over common, worthless junk every time you set foot on a planet.

"Targeting" -> "Target Next System In Route" Does not do what you describe. It only works for high-wake targets. Is there some other option that I can't seem to find?
I remember hearing wind noises when entering the starports at high speeds in my Asp back in 3300 - don't know why they removed it.
More 'beautiful' stations and ships, humanitarian missions... Like Warren Spector said in his Twitter post, I'm getting somewhat jaded by dystopian SF with dark, grimy industrial environments, piracy, assassinations. 'Dark' futures have been done to death now, like Zombies and Pirates.
I'd like to contribute in a more positive way in game. At the moment I run medicines and food mainly, but I'd like more gameplay options that reflect the positive aspects of humanity: missions to assist with things like terraforming barren planets, developing new technology, relieving hunger and disease, rescue missions, that kind of thing.
As for the aesthetics and my suggestion of beautiful ships and stations: I found a station somewhere that was white and chrome, full of plants and vegetation. It was beautiful, and felt inspiring in a way that seems so rare in SF now.

Not sure how "small" this would be from a development standpoint, but NPC SRVs driving around starports, bases and installations on the surface would go a very long way towards making those areas feel like living settlements.
It does seem that NPC AI in this game is very much based on flying around in open space (pirates at unauthorised installations, for example, won't follow you through the tunnels in the structure) so it might be a bigger overhaul than it seems on the surface. That said, even some SRV dirt tracks in and around stations would be a nice aesthetic upgrade.

In-Game HUD color customization, especially for Xbox and PS4?

SRV:
Don't disable my boosters EVER. I've gotten stuck in holes next to my ship and have to send it away just to use the booster to get out. So pointlessly annoying. Just comment-out/delete the code that does this. [yesnod]
(lol, an NPC scanned me just now after recalling and boarding my ship... then I followed it, "surge detected", then it turned around and lead me straight to a POI, scanned it, that NPC is just looking at the ground now... I guess interesting things happen when reading the forum while playing the game)

My bindings paste :
Code:
<TargetNextRouteSystem>
<Primary Device="T16000MTHROTTLE" Key="Neg_Joy_RZAxis" />
<Secondary Device="{NoDevice}" Key="" />
</TargetNextRouteSystem>And that does exactly as I describe. It'll revert my target to my next system 100% of the time, no matter what I have targeted.
Fix clean drive tuning so it isn't just a crappier version of dirty drive tuning.
That and being able to assign colours and maybe even group them.

Add a tutorial mission about how to escape an interdiction with all possible outcomes (escape the mini game, submit, and losing the mini game). Once in normal space it should teach the difference between High and Low waking and how(and when) to perform each.
Also, a tutorial on the importance of power distributor management.
