My buddies and I just got the game this past weekend and we've been missing a lot of sleep. We've accumulated a few features that we'd love to see added to the game at some point. Thought we'd pass them on in case you like any of the ideas.
1) Quick Save hotkey. - Would like to be able to map the quicksave feature to a button/keybinding.
2) Jumpgates and Station Docking areas need to be larger. Despite looking small in stations, all to often we get stuck underneath the docking bay. I think I've only once ever gone through the blue of a jump gate and most of the time, I go through the rings. These things should be massive compared to our little ships. Right now it just feels like we're a planet going through a pond.
3) Button that you can set a waypoint for quick access. We often mission together from the same station. It would be really nice to have the ability to hotkey a jump coordinate. The idea being that you would go to the nav computer and set one of your saved waypoints to the hotkey. This would allow you to hit the key and jump back to the station verse the 4 button method now.
4) If formed, when formation leader jumps it should jump formed clan members with leader to the destination. Group travel needs some loving.
5) Linking your coords from the Nav Computer should be a clickable link so that clan members can set their navcomp by clicking the coordinate information.
6) Keybind for Nearest Enemy/ cycle enemies.
7) Construction of JumpGates. - It would be a pretty cool feature to be able to construct your own Jump Gates using the Build Constructor. I understand this might not be desired by all, so it could be a server setting or something to turn it off, but we'd love this on our private server.
Crew Member 'auto match' . We'd love a feature for crew members to auto pay if rates increase. Maybe this changes later on, but in our early use of Crew members, it seems we have to check their rate every time we dock at the station. It's a bit painful.9) For the Host/Join IP address, it would be nice if the last used IP address auto populated with the last used IP address. For those of us who connect to private servers.
Like I said, You've done an outstanding job and these are not criticism, but rather ideas we had to make the game even better.
Thanks for reading.

If you only plan to "match" the quoted rate, you'll be doing a lot of re-hiring of crewmen. I average about 4 times the going rate if I want to keep my crew from jumping ship. Then, again, it only takes a few hours before a crewmember reaches 100% ... at which point, there is no need for further pay increases.
