I would like to see less time when undocking, something more fluid, seeing your character hop into his ship and take the controls, then float out to space.

I would like to scroll all the way into first person view and see out of my ships window/view screen/whatever.

I got a SSD and dock/undock happens almost instantly :)

I would have more respect for Concord if they didn't hire a bunch of moronic pilots that constantly steer their ships into each other and the gate they are supposed to be protecting. Bit of an immersion breaker.

Watching other ships come out of warp sideways and bouncing off a gate. Bit of an immersion breaker.

Fighting in a belt where the asteroids suddenly seem to be able to let bullets pass through unaffected. Bit of an immersion breaker.

Plenty of other stuff like this.

It's the little things that bother me. Things that have been around for years and not fixed.

Travel time is very very slow, like ffxiv slow. When I travel through low sec I have to monitor every single jump, so about 10 minutes of my life goes to staring at the jump warping to each jump gate. I'm sure plenty of people spend more than 10 minutes doing this. It's fine, I do it, but every new player I bring into this game complains and quits pretty quickly, always mentioning how slow the travel is and how un-personal the game is (which goes back to zooming in to see your character in ship, making it feel more like you are there even though you'd have to zoom out to see the combat from all sides, it still would help with the experience).

That's all I can think of for now, I'd give my left arm to remotely receive and accept new missions.

All of this sounds fun, but nothing of that adds to the game.

Solid asteroids (for bullets/lazers/etc) would be great. Imagine someone chasing you with guns blazing, when you duck behind a roid, his salvos hitting the roid making smoke dust and debris come out. Very imersive and impressive!

As it is now, roids are mainly a pita, cause their 3d boxes mess with aligning when warping out.

I think you guys want another game.

We're not even talking about the game, but aesthetics, little fixes, and other things that have no bearing on the game itself (I mean, what do we need a nebula for?).

I don't see how people are drawing from that what type of game one should be playing.

I play chess. I don't use corks, coins, and bottle-caps and call that a point of honor.

You're saying there shouldn't be a thread called "A few tweaks could help the experience"?

No.
I just think they are unusual tweaks.

I always thought part of the reason for the time taken to warp between gates was to help with loading grid before you land. So you see all the ships instantly.

Yah. I wouldn't even think of it as cut-scenes (can't say I'd want that at all), but you know how in-station we can bring our ship up in the fitting view? Imagine a window like that as a character-view while in flight -- yah, the pilot in a light, green haze of goo and breathing through a tube. Now we're talking! It wouldn't be a permanent view, but you could have it visible, perhaps in a screen that could be used to bring up other goodies (I am thinking in terms of a revamped-UI).

I don't know. I can half-way see it and half-way think it's silly. It might feel out of place in the current UI and need something that feels more integrated or streamlined. But I've got to ask myself, is it more or less silly than just having my own portrait to bring up and look at. Why is that there?

Anyway, it's in that little screen that you'd see your characters eyes go wide along with other indicators of doom before his brain and pod go pop.

I don't see how a little more immersion would possible take away from the game?! Personally I can get annoyed from invisible bumpable auras from collidable objects or asteroids as well. Or flying through them. And yes, animated portraits like in Starcraft would be lovely.

And well, many things are just arbitray. I must admit I'm not a big fan of all the accellerating and decellerating, just having to be patient for the sake of it, what's the use? I think the skilltraining speed is requiring enough patience to scare 90% of the potential players away anyway.

And in a way the slow traveling is also stopping people form coop play. If someone needs help, youGGVre less likely to do it if you have to travel 30 minutes to get there GGt and back again. We donGGVt all have unlimited time at our disposal.
ItGGVs not for nothing that I have interceptors and industrials docked all over the place.

Remotely getting missions, why not, I always wondered how you can hand in courier missions but not get them at a distance.
