Most hot keys are set for universal options ... meaning options you will likely need or want in most any sector. The ability to change your HUD. The ability to activate your tractor beam or IDS or autopilot. The ability to jettison cargo. The ability to match another ship's speed. The ability to target another ship or cycle through his systems. The ability to cycle your own missiles. Planets, on the other hand, like asteroids and stations and cities and nebulae and wormholes, aren't found in most sectors ... and not in the same location in sectors where they do exist. Not to mention that some planets are hidden (cloaked). Being able to find a hidden planet by pressing "B" ... well, that would be kind of a spoiler.

Open the nav map and all the points of interest are listed so you can click on them

Not all the POI's show up on the nav map, even when you are in the same sector.

You can only find some things with hard core exploring or sheer luck.

Make it only known PoI.

A little suggestion about the Shipyard (beside a "better UI" or/ and price listing) : it would be nice to be able to zoom the 3D model of the ship. That could replace the "Spin" button, not so interresting for me. What you think ?

When in MP, it would be nice to see the system name next to each characters name on the player list instead of only coordinates.

Also, in the rank menu it would be great to know how many pvp kills have been made.

diddo on the MP thing for players and systems.
Be nice if Perch worked even if it wasn't as pretty, the more visibility the better but backwards compatibility with EM cockpits might not work and I doubt the developer would be converting it anytime soon if ever.

Also, for atmospheric flight...wouldn't it be rather easy to trick the game into believing it was more like an aircraft by limiting the x-axis on planetary mode? Looks like the event flag or whatever is there probably wouldn't take much, then the yaw would be a lot more like a real plane where you actually
need to bank and pull back a bit to turn. (source I fly planes)
Just a thought, but my personal feature would be some more backward compatibility for the custom cockpit.
One can dream.

I second this motion. I'd like to be able to see a larger model of my ship. Spin is nice, but I'd still like a little zoom action.

After building a ship I agree, we really need to see what's going on, how it looks is honestly 75% of the fun.

Having hot keys would be easier and not break the immersion so much.

Most systems have multiple gates (Sapphire has

, stations (13), asteroid fields (7) , planets (6) etc. Would you want hot keys for all or just take pot luck?

A neutral faction would be beneficial in MP for a few reasons.

Allows players to "choose" their side without being placed in ALC by default.

Lets players who do want to side with a faction to remain independent.

Permits players to be seen by all in sector map rather than only the faction they are affiliated with.

Lastly it's good for piracy =) Who doesn't love space pirates?

How about a separate tab or something in the Nav screen, just for Market stuff? There you could find more detailed information on the current prices of commodities, ship components and parts, etc. If we could see details on stuff like that, people could become gun runners or parts dealers, which I think would add another fun element to trading in the game, as well as help highlight the economy system in the game.
