"My Vendetta"
To start, navigation could be enhanced by a buoy placed anywhere clear of debris for inbetween jumps to avoid back-jumping and to use as a meeting point in empty space
Next, Stations. It be nice if they could be attackable and controllable. Destroy all the stations defenses and the player would assume control. "Control" would consist of being responsible for defenses (hire/pay NPC's and PC's in mission menu) and ownership of all supplies at that station.Perhaps allow renaming as well.
Planets would also be a welcome change, even if it only involved landing wormholes that loade Privateer-esqe landing menus.
Ships need greater diversity. Instead of a Wraith give me the option of a P.O.S. barge type thing, and then go all the way to cap ship size freighters that allow docking and have there own menus. Allow the creation of player created missions(cap ship will buy blah product for X-money/defend for X-per kill/per minute.
Socio-political issues are completely devoid. Stage computer run battles all the times. Make sectors so filled with combat newbs be scared to go near them. Put stories of these battles in the news and create stories of the commanders/leaders and set up player missions where youre included in a squad with characters from your nation. Then get invited to that division, squad whatever and do military missions with them. That thread on content is more about a lack of personality.
Faces, Landmarks all that stuff; we need it. We want the Statue of Liberty, Yankee Stadium, and all the "celeb-hangouts".Stuff like "Jabba's Palace" and the "mos Eisley Cantina" are inevitable comparisons.
Not just Ceasar and George Washington either. Give Osama Bin-Laden and G.W. current stuff, in your face stuff. "That's where so-and-so got ambushed by so-and-so", like Hoth system and Endor. But we don't want the memory of, we need to be in the middle of it, almost inescapably so.
Great Station raids, even if it's 95+% NPC's , would be a great thing to stumble into on a trading mission even if you died, just to tell it, and then have it in the news, with names of commanders you could've targeted when you stumbled into it.
Get hailed by a pirate or merc and get led into some kinda of plot that opens story missions at the places you need to go, or just get lead to another sector to take part in whatever story.
Things need to be uncovered by the player as well. Plots of treason in the military, corruption in trade guilds, selling people out to pirates. We might not like to admit it, but we want a friggin' soap opera.

Well...interesting wording </me bludgeons 1sugob7 with the Smart-Stik™>
However, he's more or less on the money. NO-VA! NO-VA! Or, you know, something way better and more immersive... :D

Wow. 1sugob7's post should be like nine different posts, all of which we've discussed before! Heh. But I agree with every little thing he wants. I just don't know how much of it will ever be implemented.
Isn't most of that on the four-year-plan?
If by "four year plan" you mean the same seven year plan on which LeberMac made it through undergrad, then ... yeah ;)
...or the same 120-year plan that Lecter's going through in prison now... :P
/me flys around freely! (and promises to freely pop Miharu next time he catches the wench outside her bar :P... )
You asssume that I went to college, Lecter! Ha! Fooled you!
And hey! Leave Miharu alone! Without her I can't get into my tequila stash!

un-hijacking thread...
welcome to vendetta 1sugob7.
as several others have noted and Forum Moderator has provided a link, there is a sticky thread of common suggestions and ideas.. along with links to the discussions that we have had in the past.
Many of your ideas are more in line with "long term" things that we wont see immediately.. but all are good thoughts.. take a few moments and look over the thread FM linked to, then feel free to add any new thoughts to the existing threads.
