1. More variety of missions.
How many times can I kill the informant?
2. Empire should be safe.
It's where newbies start and get their first taste of the game. It needs to be safe to not lose them as customers when someone in a disposable ship blows them up and takes their first implant.
3. Insurance is a joke
I could write a lot on this, but it is not realistic. Players are rewarded for sacrificing their ships (See #2). Any insurance company would go broke with that business model.
4. Hybrid railguns take too much powergrid / Bonuses are out of whack
I had a Ferox, with its medium railgun bonuses, but it couldn't even mount 4 with leaving nothing left. There is no incentive to use the Ferox for its bonuses when it can easily mount five named heavy missile launchers and do more damage.
5. Something between a transport a freighter is needed
A Bustard in today's economy is about 35-50 million ISK whereas the minerals alone for a Charon cost well in excess of 600 million ISK. There should be something inbetween to allow players to gracefully step up. It seems industrial ships go from Badger (300k), Badger 2 (800k), Bustard (30m), Charon (1000mil). That's quite a jump!
6. Fonts
I can barely read the chat fonts. I've turned the size up to the maximum and it's still troublesome. :(
7. Non-audible sound notifications
There are a few actions in the game whose only notification of success (or failure) are from sounds. Market export is the first that comes to mind. Please make something visual :( A lot of us have the sound off, are hard of hearing, or deaf (or any of the above).
8. Market Data Exports
Please let us export multiple items at once. Exporting the minerals which can have 300 orders each requires the table to be rendered before the export button can be used.
9. Travel time and distance
Instas... I just spent an hour making 28 instas for myself because to use my Bustard to go the 14 jumps would take a long time. I clog the database for my convenience. Let us use a skill, like Warp Drive Operation to move closer to the gate! 15km at 0 skill, and knock off 3000 metres for each skill level, make the skill rank 3 or something.
10. Database dumps
t20, in his blog, posted a database dump. It is currently being used by the community to create fansites but the data is well out of date. Please keep the dump updated for us to use as well as some documentation about its columns.
