Okay so I'm a new player. I just signed up for 3 months about 2 weeks ago and I am enjoying the game. To my joy mining has been added and now I have some suggestions.

1. Mining temp should not only slow down the process of getting ore but increase the chance of the astoroid breaking apart thusly doing damage to your ship and losing a money maker. Different ores should have different tolerances as well. e.g. ice 'roids have a very low temp tolerance and break up easy.

2. Repairs for free? I don't like the idea personally. How about this? Repairs are always free in your home nation or if your faction is high enough at the station you are at. Otherwise you have to pay. However you could add an option to automatically repair when docked regardless of cost.

3. Decals for ships. Numbers, symbols, ect. especially for guilds. You unlock more decals based on the license levels you reach.
