    -More Refined Combat (I have many opinions on this)

    -Something to do other than gather ore. Quests would be nice.
    -Abolish the tier planetary system. Just get rid of it.

    -inventory / storage auto sort would be killer
    -more planet information, such as weather type and communities / structures with ship / upgrades to access that info
    -beacons or scramblers to make planets easier or harder to find
    -an even more pissed off koala

    Craftable teleport pads. For both beaming out of the deep underground and for setting your custom landing point on a planet.
    No destructive weather (acid rain, meteors, etc) on your starting planet.
    Overhaul of 3d printer system. Cost to scan but materials to craft or free to scan but pixels to create. All items scanable, even if other methods to acquire.
    Overhaul to crafting system. Better organization, better consistency, clearer upgrade paths, more items.
    Ship upgrades. Cosmetic and functional upgrades. Expanded space, more flavorful ui elements, movable tech.
    Persistent world states. Plants that grow, ores that smelt, food that cooks, stuff that continues to stuff when your not around.
    Better security for multiplayer.
    Meteor defenses.

    Pixel system overhaul. No reason why we're charging ourselves a fee to craft something ourselves out of our own materials.
    Removing or reducing penalty on voxel boxes.

    I'd like to see the racial armors have their abilities implemented so my Avian can glide ^^"
    My apologies if this has already been done. I haven't had a computer strong enough for starbound
    in a little while. I hardly expect to play when I can't even scroll a webpage or type smoothly.

    I disagree on the starting planet weather. My last starter had acid rain and I got a kick out of it. Maybe remove meteors from Alpha sector to appease the masses.

    Hell no, people are just idiots and continue to build bases in systems with asteroid fields. Alpha sector is the only sector that makes any sense to build your base in (because obtaining meat is a pain in the ass in later sectors), so I don't want to have a bunch of boring alpha sector planets with no weather. I want the planets to be the same from player to player (which they currently are), and nerfing the weather for starter planets would change that.

    • A planetary weather system that warns you of weather conditions on different planets (FREAKIN METEORS)
    • Ship Upgrades
    • Chocolate
    • Some more playable races perhaps?
    • Chocolate
    • Some more lore. Finding codexes is quite interesting I find.
    • More planet types. Even weird ones. (Mushroom, sparkly planet, smoke planet...)\
    • A better healing system. Bandages and beds are nice but...

    I really haven't gotten that far yet. I've not been able to play that well with my few years old dual core amd processor. So some of these might even be in game and I haven't encountered them yet.

    - Cat pets and possibility to get cats in my spaceship (I've seen dog already, so maybe there are cats out there too)
    - Slightly improved gun dps/dmg/energywhatever.
    - More unique weapons with special effects, im not running into many.
    - Reason to build base and stay on one planet longer.
    - Hylotl villages, more hylotl npc's. Maybe they show up later, but first tiers Ive only seen one merchant. My samurai fish is lonely.
    - Bigger storage chests.
    - Better performance

    Updating my computer tomorrow, so hopefully game get playable performance wise soon.

    I would like to see different difficulty modes (that for example multiply the health/damage/size/amount of enemies) which you can switch when creating characters and that also apply to multiplayer servers.

    1. Reasons why I would like this is for one because I really am all into working hard for achieving stuff.
    2. Also making the game more difficult for me means actually prolonging the time where the game reaches the endgame state.
    3. And last but not least playing with friends in multiplayer will be more fun because there is more value in teaming up to overcome difficult stages.



    Another idea:

    Several "challenge options" at character creation would be cool. For example: disable bandages, disable certain tiers or kinds of weapons or armo (for example only melee, only ranged, only tier 1-5 weapons/armor etc), make all npcs and/or creatures hostile, disable pickaxe, disable night or day, add/remove a challenge timer, etc.

    Reasons:
    1. Challenges are especially good for streaming or making videos of the challenge.
    2. Players can modify the game to their liking but don't need mods for that.
    3. Adds a sense of achievement, when completing very difficult challenges.

    Yeah, but the mod owners need to update their mods based on newer releases. What if, instead of needing to find the mods and check if they are updated, then install them....they just came pre-installed with the update? Wouldn't that be great? =P

    Come on, be happier, dude!

    I would like an upgrade version to the snow trooper armor so it follows you longer. Before your regular armor helps you avoid cold by default.

    Means of further reducing damage you take from the dragon boss such as a food that gives a 25% fire resistance and that requires a recipe no race starts out with.

    The ability to find the survival backpack as a rare loot in alpha-beta sectors since there are level 1 asteroids and moons.

    Poison damage on planets to scale better

    The ability to offer npc's food/bandages/stims to heal them, such as if you paid for that expensive guard spawner or your valuable chef spawner npc took damage.

    Pressing a button on a guard or npc that you spawned makes them follow you.

    Pressing another button on a npc that you spawned makes them warp to ship or warp to planet.

    Just a personal thing,I would like to see reputation added, if you kill a peaceful npc you get a negative point. If you get too many negative points many peaceful settlements are automatically hostile to you, except ones you need to repair your reputation. But if your reputation is very high merchants will sell you items at a discount.

    Get real, people and lets be realistic about what is actually most likely to be done.

    New quest lines, overhauled races, ship upgrades, gun balancing and so on are big ticket items which are more than likely mutually exclusive, so only one of them would be implemented.

    How about we get some of the easy (but important) basics, like:
    - Shortcut for deleting inventory items
    - Shortcut for quick-stacking items from inventory to chests
    - 'Use Healing Item' shortcut
    - Bookmarkable planets or a 'favorites' field in planets
    - Higher tier healing items
    - Increase health & energy bar length to reflect player upgrades
    - Provide feedback when low on HP (low oxygen and low temperature have alarms, low health should too)
    - Movable beam-down locations on planets (using an item like a beacon or flag?)
    and of course, complete patch notes, to highlight exactly what changes have been made.


    As for major changes:
    - Rebindable keys
    - Colour-blind mode
    - A Pause Button
    - Aimable spears / swords (Killing flying monsters which have ranged attacks is difficult / unfair)
    etc etc.
