I would like to see something that takes the deep space combat of Starmada and brings it to the orbital interface. Starmada: High Orbitals    Include rules for ground defenses/facilities , orbiting bases and defensive satellites (I know these can be done now but thinking some non-ship specific improvements)  interface assaults (shuttles and other landing methods), pinpoint ortillery strikes, general planetary bombardment, ground-based ships/fighter launch & landing. You know, that kind of stuff. Maybe tie it in with a Quantum Legions or something along those lines.
Just my 2 cents,

I would like to see all of the supplemental books from the Admiralty Edition updated for Unity.

I loved them all. I want to see them seamlessly integrated into the new standard.

I'd like to see faction design rules/guidelines, either as a standalone thing or as part of as some campaign system.

Oh, I can get it started, its just the finishing and balancing thing that I'll fail at 

I'd like to also see the Drydock updated with any new "stuff" that gets included in supplements, SFU included.

One of the issues with it - from some initial glances, is that it uses the "iferror" function. It doesn't exist in OO Calc. I've been working on trying to figure out if there is a functional workaround that will get it to work. But I've never done anything fancy in OO, so it's still a bit of a challenge.
I *thought* that it was working in Google Spreadsheet, but the drop down menus for weapons, equipment, and on the weapon tables - weapon traits, doesn't seem to want to *quite* work right.

I have a couple of things.

1. I know you are going to cringe on this one (and you actually talk about it in the designer notes) are customized fighters with carrier holds.  Many Sci Fi shows have a lot in the small fighter range (Star Wars, Babylon 5, BSG) and the fighter variant section does help, but I feel there is room to expand.   With fighters having to deal with momentum, it is an easy way to model the BSG universe without adding a lot of additional ship cards.  Granted with the way seekers work, it might be easier to use those rules, make the seekers expendable and just have the seekers stay around until destroyed (hmm - might be on to something here)... 

2. I agree with the source book for Imperial Starmada, but I'd like to up the ante and have ships designed and printed as well.  I'd back a kickstarter to FINALLY have a Majestic ship miniature.

In the end, I have about 8 fleet designs (Star Wars, BSG, Babylon 5, Star Frontiers - thankfully the Star Trek ones will be done for me)  that need to be finished and stats created.  This new edition has got me excited for that project again!

I know in the past I've always wanted ships that were more or less maneuverable than the typical - but with the base Unity movement system I don't feel that way anymore.  All ships can accelerate to very high speeds, so really engine IS maneuverability.  Plus there are overboosters that let you pivot like a madman and boosters that let you do other crazy things.

I would love for there to be some way to have a ship with "command".  Would have to figure what that "means" in Starmada.  Things I can think of are allowing X number of dice to be rerolled OR let X ships redo their movement orders after everyone reveals their plots OR get to move X number of fighters/seekers go first in the fighter phase.  Anyway, not something "needed" but certainly would be fun given the number of genres that make reference to command ships.

Would love to see Flotillas too.  Would also like rules for things like heroic small ships - (e.g. Firefly, Millenium Falcon, Slave One).  I suppose you can just get a small ship and load it up with Stealth or Countermeasures, thus making it a waste of time to shoot at.

Don't mean to repeat myself, but what are the chances of getting all of the supplemental material from AE converted to Unity books?

Dreadnoughts, Imperial Armada, Hammer and Claw, etc...

In the end, I have about 8 fleet designs (Star Wars, BSG, Babylon 5, Star Frontiers - elections results 2018 thankfully the Star Trek ones will be done for me) that need to be finished and stats created. This new edition has got me excited for that project again!

Instead of a spreadsheet. I'd like to see a Drydock Program. I for one would be more then willing to pay for said program. Also I'd love to see rules for a "Wave Motion Gun" (Space Battleship Yamato) style weapon.

But, a Drydock Program is an almost must for me.
