I'd prefer a fix to all those weird things everywhere that a lot of people agree is wrong but they jsut get used to, than some new gadget that only few people will ever see or use.
I think priority should be the following:
-fix npc collisions flipping giant player ships around (because its annoying to everyone all the time)
-make all ship sizes and non-cruise speeds 50% of current value. Keep planets as is, resize bases, lanes, and gates to 75%.
-less npcs blocking gates or lagging you up by respawning and respawning at places where all they do is annoy and die, like pirate npcs near lawful bases
-player docking for carriers
-more immersive universe. Add lore in the form of infocards on the new bases.
No new systems, ship models, or "storyline developments" in the form of warzone progressions unitil all that is fixed please.
