A Few Ideas (Rolled Into One Post)
I've got a few ideas and suggestions for the game, here they are.
----------
--1 (Suggestion) Make it so it cost 100,000 credits to become a bounty hunter. Make it so you can resign for the price of 50,000 credits.
--2 (Idea) Make a news caster system. People would pay 500,000 credits to have the ability to create news. Maybe a higher price, or almost every member will be spamming news. They would have categories to chose from such as Queen Sightings, Storm Sightings and whatever else. This would create a role playing aspect to the game. A few people would pay to become news casters, and he or she might make some money on the side of that from people wanting to post news through the news caster.
--3 (Idea) Make it so there is a guild section in the news. In this place only Commanders and Lieutenants of a guild can post news in it. In the guild news section in the station menu, each guild would have it's own place instead of it all being mixed together. (each guilds news section will be listed as a news article like the normal news is listed now). This would also add a small role playing aspect to the game. Some guilds might have there own unofficial bounty system, here guild leaders will be able to list the bounties claimed and also have a place to let people know they are recruiting.
--4 (Suggestion) As seen in another active post.. Some factions that your loved by are red on your radar, others are green. None of that makes sense. If I spend my time to become +500 with Corvus Prime and Ineubis Defense Research, I would like them to both be green on my radar. I came across an Ineubis Defense Research and an Orion Heavy Manufacturing Trade NPC earlier, Orion was green and Ineubis was red. I was +0 with both of them
--5 (Idea/Suggestion) These are some ideas and suggestions for the current HUD layout.
--A) Create some more chat tabs. One for private messages so they appear seperate from the main chat. A guild chat tab, once again to keep the main chat cleaner.
--B) Make a way to change the color of the hud. The current color seems bland, I personaly would like to change my hud color to green. (Hud options similar to Descent Freespace would be nice.)
--C) The ability to change the font on the chat section of the HUD. I like to use the small scale HUD to keep my screen less cluttered looking, but I do not like having to strain my eyes trying to read the bold chat messages. Bold white is ok, but bold yellow and red are a little harder on the eyes when your sitting back in your chair rather than sitting one foot from the monitor.
--D) A place in the configuration menu to change hud size. A slide bar so you can make it how you want it. Also a way to set scale one and two for use with F5.
----------
Please post any comments, good or bad :) I just want everyones input on these ideas.

It would be more helpful if your suggestion threads had a more meningful thread title so they could be more eaily referenced later. There are a plethora of "A few Suggestions..." type threads.
Too late
-- 1 - Yes, please (especially the resign part).
-- 2 - Coming Soon (TM). See the In Progress page.
-- 3 - I'd like this, although I'd rather it not be limited to Commanders & Lieutenants.
-- 4 - I would like to see this explained a little bit clearer, but I don't think all factions should have the same number to change color. For example, Corvus (the pirate faction) should be more untrustworthy than others, and so should not be considered non-hostile unless you have a higher standing with them.
-- 5 - I really don't think this is at all very important, compared with everything else that's going on, but if/when the devs get around to tweaking the HUD, I would personally like to see different HUDs for different ships.

I think number 3 should be very limited. Some guilds out there have more than too many members. EnB to be exact. Some guilds are small. Letting all members post news would be allowing spam! Although, they could make a new rank for this. So if the leaders of the guild did want to allow someone to post news, they would give him the News caster rank (or something like that..).
Beolach, About number 4.. Serco vs Itani would stay red no matter what. But as for the rest, if you work hard to ge over 300 standing with them, they should be green on the radar. Corvus would probably require a higher standing like you said to become green.
Also, Different HUDs for different ships would infact be very awesome. Would make the game feel a little different. Maybe instead of the current HUd where it looks like your looking out of a Ti-Fighter without the side wings on it (you can't see your ship) They should make it so you see parts of your ship? So it feels more like a space craft instead of looking at the stars and planets for that feeling :) .. It's done with almost every racing sim and alot of (if not all) flight sims.
