I talked about it a little in my first impression post, but I felt it's sorely needed enough to warrant it's own suggestion thread.
Basically, we need more things going on at our space stations and colonies purely for ambience sake.
1. Tiny freighters flying to and from the planet to your space ports and mining stations, with an additional one added per upgrade level.
2. Medium sized cargo ships traveling from spaceport to spaceport and colony to colony.
3. Cargo ships traveling from nearest spaceport to construction ship when its in the process of constructing something since I doubt the minerals are just magical being spawned into the constructor since you don't have to have it restock anywhere.
4. Star Liners spawning at colonies where a Pop is about to migrate from then travels to planet that pop wishes to migrate to.
5. Small science ships spawning at a capital colony and traveling to last known location of alien vessel/space creature when a research mission is issued to study it's nature, then returning when mission is done.
6. Diplomatic envoys spawning at nearest capital and moving to capital of alien race when embassy or trade is issued. Or basically when any dealing is made with an alien race. If the dealing involves materials, then it's a cargo ship
7. And when proper civilian trade is implemented into the game, large cargo ships should spawn at appropriate colonies and travel to another races colony. Well, depending on how you guys handle inter-racial trade, long as it's represented in game
And all these will utilize the race of origins main means of ftl whenever they are traveling between systems.
And of course, since all of this will just be a visual representaton of current mechanics it can be turned off optionally in case your computer can't handle the added load of rendering the extra activity.
I would gladly pay for this as a dlc if neccesary. The galaxy feels so desolate, even in well developed systems.
Extra note: And could we have newly built ships actually come out of our Space Ports? Instead of just spawning next to it? And maybe have ships dock with the spaceport for upgrades and repairs
