Would be nice if Pirates could get 90% on the remaining RoS ships and weapons. Also now I know golanski will hate me for that as he went all "EITHER REVIVE ROS AS WHAT IT WAS OR NOTHING!" but to be honest, I would've changed the Lore of RoS into a big Pirate Guild that is roaming across sirius called the Reapers of Sirius. Their ships are just so iconic: Lich, Wight, Skeleton, Reapers to Pirates so I would've probably turned them into a Pirate/Smugglers/Slavers haven of some sort.
Gallia turning into something like Corsairs and Outcasts rather than what they've been introduced as. After a long long thought I came to realize, Gallia wasn't a bad idea noone should've bashed on it "RemoveGallia" and such. Especially I myself that came to Freelancer after Starlancer, I know where these nations existed in the Alliance and France was part of it so was Italy and Spain. My guess is that with Corsairs and Outcast split they wanted to give Sairs to Spain remnants and Outcasts to Italy remnants and with Gallia introduced the whole crew is back together, however their presence was too strong (I know you've removed a couple Gallic systems for that) and I honestly think if they would've been presented equally strong as Outcasts or Corsairs, I would've totaly rolled with that. Cause I think many of us remember how many people left after the "Knock knock, who's there? GALLIA" roflstomp, most of their RPs went trash and probably most of them gave up trying anymore. Pls do not see this as a "GalliaHate" message or anything, I mean I made it definitly clear I actually realize that it was a cool idea to bring Gallia into Discovery, however it should've been presented differently.
I would've banned people that RP mexican Outcasts lol, jokes aside let's leave Spanish to Corsairs and actually do something for Italian remnants for Outcasts, might've been interesting.
Now with Zurich I would've introduced a Swiss Unioners faction, rebellion of fine workers against the Rheinland Gov (just sounds so true to reality, there is a certain attitude towards germans in switzerland when they enforce laws).
Last but not least, a Middle Eastern Faction. That was probably my life plan even back with Shades of Sol, I wish there was a Coalition Rebels faction of some sort that would contain the middle eastern nations that were part of like in Starlancer (Arabs, Egyptians etc.) and maybe add one or two more from todays NATO and have them like fight Coalition in the Omegas Sector.
I wish Core would've turned into a more house supportive group than trying to build an own empire. I liked the idea of BHG Core more with a little tweaks with current Core.
Make SRP classes, easier classes lesser amount of RP, bigger ones heavy RP.
We should've gone for Jinx's Zoner Models back then and removed Nephilim and the Carrier and replaced it what jinx proposed us with those Transport models and a mini barge.
I would've loved to see a dangerous deeper omicrons with AI's and Nomads fighting over territory and you'd have all those Nomad NPCS and AI NPCs to farm for or special loot etc. kinda like how the dungeon system was mentioned.
