A few suggestions

Jan 11, 2011 LotusAspect link
A few things that would be nice to see.

- Auto dock option
- Visual representation of wormholes
- More NPC activity, especially around stations
- More obvious indication when a license goes up in level

Auto dock option

Docking isn't too hard...

Visual representation of wormholes

There already is. If you mean a flux in space, +1.

More NPC activity, especially around stations

Working on it.

More obvious indication when a license goes up in level

+1.

I don't have any problem docking, it would just be nice not to have to do it manually every time.

Yeah, I mean an actual graphic representation of the wormhole, not just a marker. Not essential or anything, just a nice visual touch.

Having more NPC activity is the most important of these I think. Capitols should feel like they're the main faction hubs and barracks should feel like military bases. Something to give it more life. At the moment it feels a bit too quiet.

I am not in much need of graphics around wormholes. Everything graphic there will look too easy and stupid, IMO. What would you expect? A Floating Pink Fluffy? No offence ;-)
Last, but not least, if wormhole would be a visual thing, humans would be allowed to discover it much sooner. I the deepest corner of my imagination I can accept some sort of lens effect. But....
Overall good attempt, but for me -1

Wormhole graphics: -1

More NPC traffic: +1

Auto dock: hum, I am docking with turbo and usually quite fast with a fighter. I think this is eye-candy, and would make sense maybe for Moth sailors and new players.
But then, flying 'moth would be even more boring :-)
It falls into category "nice to have". ... and thus never implemented :)

Auto-dock: +0.1

Licences: 0, I don't care.

[EDIT]
For reference (more traffic to sectors):

None of these are must haves, just random things that occurred to me as a new player.

I agree with the suggestions, albeit with varying levels of priority. NPC activity and better notification of level-ups are already in the pipe for upcoming versions.
