A few suggestions
Hey all,
I've been playing for some months now, and eagerly anticipating the full game, a few things i would like to see are:
Lock warning : when someone has you targeted a little red light or something. Could stop needless attacks where people panic because of a red dot on the radar, and also might have an effect on battle tactics.
Throttle : In arcade mode your throttle resets to 0 after a jump, my main question is why? i would prefer it to stay at the speed i had it set at, maybe an option switch or something.
Pirates : I've noticed that pirating has risen a lot since i first started playing, people just want to kill everyone, now it seems to me that it wouldn't be worth it to fire a 250c missle at a bus with a 40c bounty, and why even bother fighting someone who has no chance of beating you? So i think there should be some punishments for pirating, like if they killed someone who's home sector is s4, then they would get a mark against them in s4 and with enough marks maybe disallow docking, or it could work for whatever sector the fight took place in, but some sort of system, to promote legal trading over pirating.
Multiple windows/monitors : this may just be me, and i don't know how complicated the coding would be to do it, but i would love to be able to have all the HUD data as seperate windows so i could have them on my second monitor, and get more of a cockpit like feel, when i'm playing. also mointor spanning would be cool, especially if you could add views to the sides, that way 3 monitors would give you 3 directions of view, adding to the experience. Again i know this is a long shot, and it's probably just my love of flight sims that wants this feature, but it would be cool :D
Cheers

On the multiple windows/monitors-issue, I'd say yay :)
I'd love to have a selection of info in another window, or perhaps even a rear-view mirror :D

They have Matrox triple-head parhelia support. (three monitor)
Lock Warning: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!
big difference between pirating and killing everything..
well where would you draw the line between "pirating" and killing everything is site?
Is it only pirating if you steal the cargo for profit?
If so then maybe there could be a "stolen" tag on cargo, and you could only sell it at more "shady" stations
I would just like some way to discourage people from shooting down players who have no chance in a fight, like an unarmed transport, or a stock bus.
I have no problem with someone attacking me when i'm in a fighter, but if i've been killed one too many times and i'm stuck in a bus trying to build up some credits, then i would prefer not to be ambushed while doing trade runs.
