More emphasis on reinvestment in hardware/infrastructure. No more 5 hour Mogstation delivery delays, or ridiculous pit fighting over housing. Nearly every system in the game is gummed up by antiquated design stacked on top of antiquated design - that needs to be torn down and rebuilt, not just layer-caked until the servers shut down for good.

Also, I'd like to see an expansion devoted to more traditional regions (more zones added to the original three kingdoms), and a fight against the Empire directly (rather than some proxy war staged in, say, Doma).
