I thnk that you should be able to auto lock after your liscenses
become a certain level.That way newbies dont go crazy with it and
veterans will understand it better.You should also be able to steer
better and should made ships with different qualities such as better speed control or aiming.For shooting you should be able to
other things besides missiles ect.The last thing is you should be able to disguise your ship or auction off the newest ships at
certain places in gray space where everyone could come.Oh i forgot
you should have law inforcement that can travel anywhere in the game.

What's autolock?

You get better ships the more you level.

You get better weapons the more you level.

Strike Forces go everywhere but gray space....

auto lock is the the button you press that makes your ship chirp and the lights flash when you park it at the dock.
