I'm just wondering this, will we ever see a change in navigation through space? Has anyone else thought about this? If so, how could space navigation be changed to make it more enjoyable and interactive? I remember space battles being talked about when Starbound was first released. Does anyone want to see navigation changed or should it stay the same? Having a button in an upgraded ship to scan nearby planets for random events could be fun, or later adding some sort of strategy-based ship combat system later down the road would be nice too. Having the option to hire on mercenary ships to help you protect a colonized planet could bring more depth to your ship too.
Ship combat is a post-release idea. So if it comes, it won't be for a while. As for possible changes... Id like to see satellites organized like this instead of randomly placed.
