1: DOUBLE CLICK. Eg. drone controls: Not right-click, engage. Double click, perform default action engage. Easy as firing a missile.
2: Hotkeys in general. I'd like to be able to control my ship at the touch of a button, not two buttons together.
3: Drones travelling from 1 target to another should be MWD-happy. I've been out for a while but it's not in the patch notes - this is especially bad with repair bots, they come back to me at combat speed not MWD speed. If fixed, disregard.
4: Scooping drones. I'm in my Domi travelling at 140m/s: my drones are behind me and I recall them: they come back at 5km/s, then suddenly stop at 1.5km and proceed to crawl after my ship without scooping properly. Drones need to operate as reliably as guns: I love drones but they're not reliable.
5: SOUND!!! L railguns need to be be more bassy. Cruise and torps need to sound WAY more formidable than the default frigate rocket launch sound. So far, I think my favourite gun noises are the L 1400mm artillery and M 250mm railguns. Oh! and Megabeams. Those sound fscking awesome. Any new music coming?
6: Immersion. The fiction on the website is awesome - why not have some imaginitive missions like that? if I missed them, where are they? How about random events like an NPC blockade - of *difficult* ships? 0.0 space is home to NPC pirate factions - why don't they defend it?
7: In general, drone controls. Controlling your drones once grouped should be as intuitive as firing a missile, and hot-keyable.
8: One drone in multiple groups. This would allow for more intelligent management of one's drone loadout. Eg. I have 5 neut drones and 2 web drones. I could organise them into two groups: 5x neut, and 2x web 3x neut. Less micro-management during combat, though I still need to pay attention to where my drones are.
9: Probes. Fix 'em? Right now it takes one observator to create an unbreakable safespot. How many does it take to locate.... anything? I personally felt they were a waste of training time.
10: EDIT: STEAL!!! Tactical Environments (nebuelas, etc.) - that is a GREAT idea. Deadspace disallows MWD usage. Why not other environments like nebulae, planetary rings etc. that have certain effects on all ships that enter them? Maybe having the gravity of a nearby planet affect the accuracy of weapons? Encourage people to brave these battlegrounds by the need to fight over resources on the planet or something... temporary burst of (stolen) creativity fading...

CRY HAVOC! And let slip the combat drones!
To meander aimlessly towards your target...
Perhaps stopping for a picnic along the way...
