6 Things I want in E:D

1. Flight vector indicator while flying with FA off. I read that it existed in alpha but was removed for whatever reason. Space dust is not sufficient replacement. Even the modern spacecraft have it. And A button to kill rotation while in FA off mode.

2. Unique built in weapons on larger ship. For example, a ship length mass driver on Corvette. Would make them feel more special than those class 4 mounts do.

3. Dynamic missions in the vein of the "Capital Ship Battle" trailer from way back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE8B4KptyVI Getting a distress call directly from your allied faction for special dynamic scenarios while in flight, rather than picking those rather straightforward and boring missions from space station bulletin boards.

4. Battles around space stations. It feels weird that battles always take place in random places in middle of pretty much nowhere. In fact: the battles should be ABOUT something with a winning condition. It's bizarre that one faction that starts a civil war is not kicked out by the faction that controls it. All stations must be owned by one fighting faction (with the exception of stations that are owned by a faction that is not participating in the war) for the faction to win war (and maybe the current system could stay as an attrition method in case one side is unable to take complete victory). Invading faction from another system should have a capital ship that must be defeated to win the war. If it's attacked before other battles are won, it would recieve constant reinforcements from those battles to make snatching victory with a sudden ambush much more difficult. This way wars become dynamic affairs that can be won with winning critical battles.

5. Proper fleet tactics for AI with flying formations. Current battles are a hot mess with no sense in them.

6. Player fleets with a commanding ship mechanic where the fleet commander can use a dynamic map view to give orders to other players by selecting their ships/flight groups. For the targeted players, a mission objective would pop up that they can follow and complete.

I could probably dream up more. But that's just that. Dreams. Except #1. That should definitely happen.
