I would suggest a number of considerations be made from and immersive point of view.
1.) During the character creation screen expose players to a short explanation of the racial groups as well as a brief almost news piece like report displaying the factions soldiers and assets.
E.G- I go to create a new character I select the Faction and a small summary of the factions is read out to me.
"The Amarr Empire is a vast Theocratical Empire that spans......."
"The Minmatar Republic is a cesspit of scum and villainy...."
While this is being read out to new players underneath a Scope Report coupled with intermissions of Security camera footage is being played displaying the Factions Soldiers and assets at work.
For example you might see Amarrian soldiers securing the area, one moving over to censor the camera drone, another from security footage of Amarrian soldiers drilling on board and MCC on in prayer, and finally a fleet of Dropships and Tanks moving across an open desert to a hill on which a battle is clearly being fought.
Consequently players get to see the assets and gather an opinion based on the style of each factional group
2.) Vehicle Wrecks
When and HAV or vehicle goes up in flames perhaps the vehicles flaming hull remains as a static piece of solid cover.
3.) Adjustments to the Neocom main menu.
This is perhaps my most passionate issue. Currently accessing the Neocom feels bland and unappealing. However we are using technology from a hyper advanced time period.
Surely as a mercenary we would be attuned with Scope or some other more clandestine organisation, and have updates of current events presented too use in almost news like fashion with updates displayed at the bottom of the screen denoting FW systems that have switched control, PC districts that have flipped, and current lore events.
Not only this but I feel like the process of selecting contracts feels contrived and boring. Would we not as mercenaries make use of a 3rd party group to find our contracts for us, to sign on to so as to find contracts and hire on allies? I would make the main contract selection screen feel like accessing a professional mercenary computer programme with a unique aesthetic.
Finally the ability to customise the layout of our main menu by being able to pin applications from our side bars (top bars, etc) so as to lay out our own Neocom units.... I mean everyone personalised their Smart Phone layouts....... wouldn't we New Edenites be able to do this too?
