Maybe some new systems with hardcore npcs to fight. Most npcs in the game are harmless unless they are capital ships or their escorts. Would like to see some systems have an incursion of hard to beat enemies, maybe bring back bomber npcs and give these npcs new weapons which deal extra damage.
If possible maybe update some the A.I to improve their flying. I dont know if its possible since I don't know how to code, but it would be awesome to have a pvp duel with an npc that was very challenging.
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
