Make an in-game, in character wiki and forum, accessible outside the game as well
Ok, so we are all operating in this big, awesome open world. High tech as heck, lots of functioning wireless networking obviously, what with the SIN network. So why not give us in-game, persistent messaging? Public wikis and army-wide forums. Having them accessible outside the game as well, but locked down to needing an account to actually post.
I mean, these things are going to exist already, why not incorporate them directly into the game?

The ability to live chat.
I love the IRC, but as much as I love the IRC I feel like it drops out on me or shunts somewhere I don't really care about. I feel it would be great to have a livechat on the forums itself (no offense Arkaras.) I feel like right now coversations are... fine and all but if I see another user online and I want to just have a live chat option with them or go to a room where everyone is talking and chatting that would be very nice. Also it would allow for more control (like if someone… more

Create a special sub-board of beta key contests
The off topic forum gets flooded with beta key contests after every invite wave, and the flooding is only going to get worse as time goes on. With each new wave more and more friend invites are given out, which means more and more contest will be created. A separate sub board for contest would do wonders to keep the off-topic section more organized. This is especially true when you consider these beta key contest thread often stay alive even after the contest is over because of key beggars who don't read.

Add more Bestiary/Lore to the Site
Adding more lore to the website weekly or monthly. Encouraging growth by the community to discuss/expand upon in the forums. Allowing those new to the game to sink into this vast world.

Name and backstory for Red5's cash shop currency - R5 Crystite
So I was thinking about the cash shop when an idea hit me and it has been brewing in the back of my mind ever since Grummz started to talk about the elements being changed from seed crystite.
Grummz said: ↑
"Also, Crystite affects certain (and only certain) elements and compounds found on Earth. Seed crystite, if it comes into contact with these elements, sets up a chain reaction that restructures the elements into a Crystite-Element hybrid. Entire fields of the stuff can be found, and it can spread relatively quickly under the ideal conditions. These hybrid elements, denoted by… more43 votes -
Skiing
GOTTA GO FAST
Wouldn't it be cool if you could ski (like in Tribes)?
Maybe it's possible to create this using the glider mechanics!3 votes -
Clan forums integrated in the game
Wouldn't it be nice to have a private forum that can only be viewed by your clan/guild/army?
This would be awesome if the forums could be viewed ingame!14 votes -
Security Measures
Create some form of security to prevent our accounts from hackers. One example is Blizzards authenticator, or some other way we can access our accounts or view them without having to deter or monitor hackers. It's something that has happened to me and many MMO's including the pay to play ones. I definitely think you should have an idea for this

Make the engineer be able to build machines from scratch,and dispensers, and teleporters
yes i know it was done in TF2, but the eginner should be able to buid
mchines from metal, or ammo, and make some sort of healing macine that gives ammunition and teleporters when some one dies and goesback to the spawn point, there is no worries because there
is a teleporter there for you built by your friendly engineer, and a new feature! they need a crafting table in order to make new weapons/upgrade weapons, the downfall is, they require a weapon in order to create a new one, and they need a lot of ammo and other ingredients… more1 vote -
make enemies disengage at some point
In most games if you run far enough away enemies will disengage with you, this is kinda necessary otherwise u can be swarmed with 100 enemies.

Thumpers should be a little more resilient. Large waves of monsters make then die way to easily.
So last night i was playing around with resource gathering and i noticed that i was getting totally overrun with monsters i duno if that was because i had other people around me also doing their own thing or what but i saw small squads have a hard time keeping even keeping their thumper till it filled up.

Revive should not count as kill/death
I'm not really sure what the benefit of revive is, besides giving the medic something to do. It's still counted as a death/kill if you are revived, so often I don't really even want to be revived. I've gotten revived and killed three times in a row once, especially since I get revived with half health.
I feel like the best thing to do would be to give xp for a downed enemy, points for execution, and extra points if the enemy you downed dies and isn't revived. And only if the person isn't revived should you get a kill/death.

Spy Reloaded!
experience it like the old TF2 style, but more stylish, be able to camouflage as an enemy and the enemy wil not recognize you until it is too late! they will feel the back stabbing of a life time,instant kill enmies by backstabing them by an aerial backstab, where your character is above the enemy and he falls on the enemy, but wait... the enemy died? thats right, slick their throats, back stab them, or even go out on a frontal assault and stab in in the stomach, this is Spy reloaded, more deadlier,more sneakier, their special ability is stealth,… more

How to explain this. Many forum got their account level and reputation. Forum level is like "If your'e new here you will be tagged as Recruit, then u hit 100 post u will be tagged as Soldier, and u hit higher than 100 like 2000. U get general tag. And for reputation u get kudos from posting useful thread. This reputation will see how helpful are you, and usually shown as green bar. I put image for further information

Add an "Overheat" system to the Dreadnought HMG.
As described in my forum thread on the Dreadnought Forums. I believe an "Overheat" system of sorts should be implemented into the HMG in Firefall. Details are within the link.

Adding a Compendium
I know this actually a lot of work to do ( maybe community can help out there a bit ) but I think some kind of Compendium would really improve the depth of the world.
By Compendium I mean a list with monsters, places/cities etc. a player has already discovered. So when I discovere some new stuff I can open this compendium and have a little article, with a picture and some background information about it. I also think this would make it way easier for beginners to find their way into the story/world.
