How to easily improve the PVE game and attract better ratings...

[Aldeveron]

These suggestions apply the PvE game. (I haven't played PvP, since my rank was wiped upon release, so I won't comment on it.)

In PvE:

1: Make port-to-port trading more profitable (I suggest by at least 100%) so that trading once again becomes an interesting and worthwhile pursuit.
2: Increase the rewards from delivery missions (I suggest by at least 50%).
3: Increase the frequency of sealed bottles (I suggest by at least 50%), and improve the loot found on the wrecks.
4: Increase the number of elite NPC ships (I suggest by 100%) because they hold better loot, and therefore provide extra motivation to play.
5: Make the loot from NPC ships correlate to the NPC ship's size (bigger ships should carry better loot).

I could suggest many other improvements, but the above are what I consider the 5 main things that I think would reduce the excessive grind and resulting widespread discontent, while being easy to implement. I hope the @admin will take heed.
