Suggestion: Add hacking minigame training mode as a feature in Captain's quaters.
Tags: captain's quaters, hacking

Suggestion: Add "release passengers" options to "livestock" item category.
Tags: items, immersion
Note: on human "livestock" items there should be an option to release person(s) in cargo out to their own life; especially on slaves / freed slaves. Item dissaprars from cargo, player gets small notification of dispersing passengers; optionally minuscule standing gain to Minmatar / loss to Amarr for freeing slaves.

Suggestion: Add "distress signal" mission in space.
Tags: missions, pve
Note: make random rescue missions spawn in system, it can appear as expeditions, player is informed by a small popup info, similar to that of escalation; objective may be either kill al hostiles, kill tackler holding NPC scrambled, or kill hostile commander. All player currently in space in system receive notification at the same moment and can complete it simultainously the same way anomalies work, pocket despawns instantly on last PC's warpout, rewards and difficulty depend on system's security status, and successfull completion may give minuscule standing gain to local empire (in high), concord (in low), or sov owner (in null).

Suggestion: Alter the Science & Industry blueprint browser so that the search filter only applies after pressing enter.
Note: With hundreds of blueprints, a query can take several seconds to complete, and the search bar tries to update the query as you type. Behavior more akin to the market window, where the user chooses when to run the update, would be appreciated.

Suggestion: Fix mining foreman mindlink drop rate.
Info: 2B for an implant is a bit ridiculous.
Keyword: Implant, mission drop

Suggestion: Move the name of the person the local police are talking to the beginning of the pop up from the end of the message.
Keyword: pop ups, UI, everyone.

Note: Having the name last makes someone read the whole message before they know who is being targeted.

Suggestion: Allow the owner of wrecks to delay their expiration, but reduce the default wreck timer to compensate.
Keywords: user interface, wrecks, salvage, beacon, missions
Note: For various reasons, certain missions can take a long time to complete (interruptions, ship explodes, chaining missions or it's a multi-part, multi-room mission), causing some of the wrecks to start disappearing before you've had a chance to collect them (I don't multi-box). Assuming wrecks are still an issue for server load, reduce the default wreck expiration time to 30 minutes or so.

Give the owner (perhaps anyone?) the ability to right-click a wreck and choose "Preserve nearby wrecks for salvaging", that increases the wreck timer to 3-4 hours, and survives down-time. Options could also include "Preserve for fleet" and "Preserve for corp", although they are more likely to be on-grid with you. It would be independent of the wreck "status" (blue, yellow), although would that need to change for "Preserve for fleet"?

An alternative, that increases the potential for conflict, is to allow the player to drop a beacon that preserves wrecks on grid for 3-4 hours, that shows on the player's overview, but also can be scanned down with a probe launcher by anyone.

Benefits - reduces server load (assuming the majority of wrecks are ignored), allows more efficient missioning (mission-mission-mission-loot, instead of mission-loot-mission-loot), ninja looters shouldn't be affected (you can't scan down wrecks anyway; they often have probe launchers fitted to find the mission-runner, so would be on-site fairly quickly).

Suggestion: Добавить возможность забирать контракт-аукцион, если хозяин контракта заблокирован.
Keywords: контракты, аукцион.
Note: товар выставлен на аукцион, хозяин за него заплатил, более он ему не принадлежит до окончания.
если была ставка и аукцион окончен - контракт должен забирать победитель независимо от состояния владельца контракта. иначе деньги (ставка) висят - забрать нельзя, контракт висит - ни отменить, ни отказаться. другой игрок не должен страдать, если владелец заблокирован.

Suggestion: warfare links draw aggro when aiding, exactly like repping ships (reuse the same function!)
Keywords: PVP, links, warfare, empire, highsec, lowsec
Note: this is NOT about balancing links, or about on grid vs off grid, but only about making fighting linked people a better user experience in empire space. This improvement is compatible with any other different improvement with links ships. See http://failheap-challenge.com/showthread.php?12015-warfare-links-and-aggro for a complete explanation. This is about allowing link ship hunters to scram neut link ships. Currently a link ship can boost another ship without any fear, the only way to deal with this in highsec is suicide gank it, and that needs a lot of preparation against a ship that can cloak any time: it never happens. If a covops could scram a link ship, we would have many more explosions, and we all love explosions don't we ;) Secundarily, we'd finally get link boosted "soloers" alts to show up on killmails, for great justice!

Suggestion: Ship Velocity Vectors
Keywords: PVP, small gang, tactical overlay, UI, overview
Note: Add a single new vector to every ship on the tactical overlay, showing speed and direction of each ship. Additionally (optionally), add a new overview tab that governs the filtering and colouring of the velocity vectors. Make the vectors always show up with the same size, independently of zoom level, because they're more useful the more the screen is zoomed out.

Keep this simple, and it will be a great boon to small gang play!
