Upgraded drone that you can unlock. Moves faster, better mining lasers. Alternatively, build your own Pseudo-Drone, that you can leave your main ship with. When entering a sector with a huge ship and you just want to trade, it would be nice to have a faster, more safe drone to leave your ship with to go dock with. Artillery cannons. Probably asked for a lot, simple idea. I just want a large long gun. Rail guns are cool but dont "feel" like a sniper gun. Which reminds me, I feel like railguns should have projectile travel faster and more accurately... and perhaps express a physical force that pushes the ship backwards when it hits it. Also, while keeping the DPS the same, have the rate of fire lowered to like 1/5th of what it is on average right now. So it shoots slower, but hits harder per bullet, but retains the current dps. They kind of just feel like a chain gun to me... This next one is more of a suggestion born out of a complaint... I dont like how much thrusters you need. I feel like star citizen took the much better approach to thrusters. Theyre much smaller, but work much better. I wonder if developer would be willing to experiment with thrusters as if they were a mounted item like a turret, not a structural block. Imagine just placing thrusters on your ship as if they are a turret instead of big ugly blocks. They dont have to actually be items, but I just dont like it the way it it currently is. Maybe im alone in this... maybe not. Mining drone gun. A gun you can shoot and it sticks a beacon on an asteroid. Drones launch off the turret and mine automatically. No need for any structural block to hold drone - they are attached to the turret itself. Extremely useful, maybe a high tier material only gun Hire a writer to inject small stories into the game. I suggest spend a week playing stellaris with all the expansions, and youll see what I mean. Basically, game could use smaller stories that pop up in the game randomly. Like Disasters, Evil monsters(imagine deep space cthulu...), mysterious NPCs.. etc. Build some things that have a backstory and history. Maybe make a few special factions that always spawn and have unique characteristics. Like maybe a faction is always Praising a God and tries to crusade across the galaxy in their god's name. Their ships all have names like "paladin" "Holy knight" "Priest" instead of "frigate" etc You can help or fight them. Things like that. Add a new random property to turrets - built in shield. It protect the turret only, so it is harder to shoot off. Doesnt need shield generator, has fixed HP and HP regen. Maybe is for high material only.
