Hi Athenian, long time no see.

See folks? Discoverians don't leave, we just go afk for a while.

I agree completely about the next-to-useless lower level armour upgrades. would like to see them replaced with options like:

• shield regen boost
  
• shield total HP boost
  
• Powercore boost
  
• speed boost
  
• Non-scannable cargohold
  
• agility boost
  
• extra weapon mounting (prolly not possible)
  
• Wingman - an npc matching your ship spawns when you undock, and attacks whatever you attack
  
• decoy - a ghost of your ship (spawn time 5 minutes) that flys around mimicking whatever your did one second previously - would be confusing as all hell in combat
  
• scanner total distance range boost
  
• scanner active scan range boost
  
• etc
  

i miss the smuggler ID - it almost certainly guaranteed interaction. smuggler routes aren't what they used to be - but either they get buffed or everything else gets nerfed or some tricksy tricks get codified to give sell-price boosts if your're flying a freighter
