I played another MMO a long time ago called Eve online. It was 100% based in space. Well mining was a huge aspect of the game. And what they would do is launch containers in space. And you could give friends the ability to drop off resources in them. The containers could hold many times the amount that you could on your ship. Why not give that ability to Capitol ship. The miners could launch from space go out get what they needed. Dock with some docking ring on the hull of the ship and empty all cargo inside. Then go back to mining for as long as you liked. Same concept just a lot more fun.

Another thing I think that on these new ships you should be able to stay in space for extended periods of time. Now if you log out in space and come back a little later you end up on the gnd. I know I have crashed in space ended up on one planet and somehow my ship ended on yet a differant one somehow. They track us in space but only seem to be able to spawn us at a dozen diferant places. They need to make space more realistic to make it more engaging.

And what the heck is the point of Autopilot on a POB for if you set a course and the dang ship just stops when you stand to streatch. Maybe it needs to be renamed to minipilot..
