Oh i know there are people that are out there making their own content right now. I have been to many player cities that are fantastic at creating ground content. All i'm saying is that i think The majority of players don't take advantage of this, or aparently want to. I love to be proved wrong in this case because it means more content for me.
You can take a game like Neverwinter Nights as an example of a success in the community creating their own content. The amount of modules and whatnot out there is staggering.
What the devs need to do if they want to continue with player created content is start adding more tools to create it with.

I was wondering what you meant by creating content for single player games, now i understand.
When i am talking about making your own content in a game like thisI don't mean modding, i mean roleplay. Setting up the Lowca Alliance Navy is a perfect example, their are whole player cities where the mayor really is in charge and others act as minions and "run" the city etc.
I mean organising hunting parties to go hunt big game, getting together and exploring or doing it alone. Have you been to every POI in space? seen the inside of every nebula? navigated an asteroid field without crashing into one. Organise a pilot training school and help new pilots through their first few missions.
The potential for this sort of thing is endless, and it when there is nothing else to do there are the Dev created missions, but rushing through all the missions won't take long.
I'm not talking about modding. Im talking about having more tools to work with in game. An example of such would be say if you could at master pilot get the ability to plan and deliver missions to other people. Have an interface where you have access to a nav map where you can create a mission with waypoints, targets and objectives at the waypoints, a reward within an predefined monetary range based on the level of difficulty of the mission. Then be able to give that mission to pilots in your squadron. Could possibly even be another level above master, maybe a new level you could reach called squadron commander or something. Possibly tie this ability in with the galactic civil war or something.
Thats the kind of thing im talking about, Not modding.
