Was just watchin the newest preview video and i see you flying through a roid and all this mud and shit being exploded into your ship. My idea is a realistic mud/rock system where u see clumps or dirt pile up on ur windscreen and mayby have a wiper to get it off otherwise causing visibilty fails. Also a way that if u fly through clouds of rock as you were it may damage your engines. I know alot will think my 1st idea is a usless visual gimick but imagin. If for some reason your ships electronics or frontal area(primarily windscreen) are damaged so u make a quick stop in a roid by pummeling your way in. With no wipers. Your screens gonna fill up with shit making visibility a intresting issue to contend with. I think both of these features would be one of the "Little" things that make the game more intresting.

Thing is sometimes it's best to keep it simple in order to have fun. The last thing I want when I'm chasing someone through an asteroid debris field is to worry about my windshield getting dirty or stay away from all those small rocks so that my engines wont die on me.

I think solcommand nailed it right there. It's cool make it more realistic. But it shouldn't be at the cost of fun depending on how to make it more realistic. Adding realism could also be done when at a baseship. Giving tons of option about what to do. Those little details. Like a few days ago in one the the topic where it was getting discussed about taxes. Those are small little details to make the world more believable. And that is what in the end counts for me.

I think it would be awesome if the windscreen could get dirty so you have to fix it up.

Your spacecraft canopy getting messed up is a nice touch. But it would also be a nice effect to see your ship get scratched/dented up while tunneling or hitting asteroids or show scorch marks from a tangle with other pilots or close call with the solar winds. Just adds a bit more realism.

Plus if you're the attacker you can pick off the damaged ships first. (or the not so damaged ones... however it is you roll)
I want bullet holes and plasma bolt holes, and cracks, and scrapes and everything nitty-gritty possible. Also If you ever give us the ability to paint our ships I want to have that paint slowly covered/worn off by rocks and dust so you get the "used" feel to your ship.

and the only way to repaint our ships/fix the window after it cracks is to go to a space station or a mother ship :)

yea or have some nano-fixers (honestly I think they should nerf the heck out of nanobot-repair modules to force you to go to a mothership if you get hurt too badly)
:D I want my own mothership

Your own mothership ...... shouldn't be too hard. Could just place a mothership in a specific sector that would only allow you to dock and maybe you could get increased repair rates for your damaged mining ship, larger oxygen tanks , whatever :)
Or better yet, there could be a limited number of "disputed" motherships. Once you fight your way through the defences of that mothership and fight the other players disputing it you could claim the mothership as your own ..... for a couple of weeks, then you'd need to fight again, to keep it. The events could be organized by the server admins.

That's a good idea... but I think your faction should be able to help you keep it. Also if you get your own mothership it could be another thing to buy upgrades for.
