I know we aren't going to get any major changes/improvements for a long time, but I think these 2 things might be possible without much effort from the devs, especially the first one.
1. Make a mayor maintain a residence in his town to be able to run for election.
We have been asking for a way to resign from mayor. I think the easiest way is to make the mayor be a declared resident in a house in town. I have always kept my private home and always will even though the city hall is now my declared residence. If I chose to resign as mayor I could just go to my house and revoke citizenship. I would no longer be in the election and someone else can move in. No new code needed, no new functionality. Just make mayors the same as regular residents.
2. Everyone complains how player cities are so dead. On Intrepid Coronet is the bustling city. Since it is the transportation hub of the entire galaxy. You need a buff or any services, pass through Coronet and you can find it. I think it would be great if it were possible for a player city to take over the roll of transportation hub for a planet. I know player cities won't get starports in general. How about, taking the 1 player city on each planet with the highest population and giving them inter-planetary travel. They would get it for 1 week, then after the week recheck and see which city is #1. Just allow the existing shuttleport to have inter-planetary flight.
This would foster some competition between cities, and might add some intrigue to the game. It would get at least a few player cities a lot more traffic.
This would require some extensive code though, and probably isn't really feasible, but I think it is an interesting idea.

Both excellent ideas. The starport would also generate a TON of revenue for that city.
