Some features that I believe must be added as soon as possible in order to make the game more forgiving and welcoming for newcomers, more bearable for long-term free players, and richer for any old player.

**EO 1-7 / 2-6 / 2-7 / 3-6 / 3-7 / 4-6 / 4-7 / 5-6 / 5-7 / 6-6 / 6-7 (or just 2 EO/world)
*Any player-to-player interactions, where players can interact and maybe even play with or against each other.
**Having the possibility to display our port to other players, to share data, or just to flex.
*Increase the dock size to around 150 for all players => maybe giving those 50 new slots via quests unlocked with HQ.
**Maybe also give 5-10 slots with a birthday quest depending on the recently added ships
*Give one new ring for every st-Val, with a very hard-limited quest.
*Rework all the shop economy! (some items are too expensive and/or useless).
*A more explanatory crafting system (something that is not some witchcraft recipes like now).
**Maybe just give some guidelines/probabilities on which class of item you are going to craft within a range of resources used.
*A quest tree, or at least some way to know what we have done and the immediate new quests we can unlock for every quest.
*More info about quest rewards, so we can manage the quests to clear.
*All ships required in quests '''must be''' obtainable at any moment, so you are not blocked at some point, praying for the next event.
*All equipment required in quests '''must be''' obtainable at any moment, so you can't stay blocked forever if you loosed a unique quest item (see [[User:Jigaraphale/Sandbox/1|Unobtaiable equipment]]).
**having the possibility to display our port to other players (to flex ^^)
**Maybe add a hard limit to how many "special" items you can own, to avoid power creep.
*increase the dock size to around 150 for all players (maybe give those slots via quests)
**maybe also give 5-10 slots with a birthday quest depending on the added ships
*New maps : '''All Extra Operations'''
*give one new ring for every st-Val, with a very hard-limited quest
**We are waiting for the 2nd and 3rd EOs of the main worlds since they were introduced. At this point, such EO can serve to re-introduce some rare mechanics, such as the arctic gears, the repair nodes, TP nodes, historical fleets…
*rework all the shop economy! (some items are too expensive and/or useless)
**Some EOs could be changed/updated every month/quarter :
*a more explanatory crafting system (something that is not some witchcraft recipes like now)
***Using older events maps and gimmicks. It may be interesting to replace the rewards with something like ranking points or even a special currency that could buy some old event-limited equipment.
**maybe just give some guidelines/probabilities on which class of item you are going to craft within a range of resources used
***using randomly generated map (to force you to explore a bit every month) => maybe just 1 or 2, not to overwhelm us
*a quest tree, or at least some way to know what we have done and the immediate new quests we can unlock
*more quest rewards info
*New expeditions :
*all quest ship can be dropped or/and crafted, so you are not blocked at some point, praying for the next event
**Extra Expeditions
*all quest equipments are obtainable at any moment, so you can't stay blocked if you loosed a unique quest item ([[User:Jigaraphale/Sandbox/1|Unobtaiable equipments]]) => maybe add a hard limit to how many "special" items you can own, to avoid power creep.
**World 7 & 6 expeditions
***W6 expeditions could be limited-time, appearing only once, or just once a year, and where you can use exotic fleets to have special loot.
***Some expeditions could also be randomly generated, adding more variations

Some quality of life improvement for Sorties.
**doing it as Kcanotify does is a good starting point
*more obvious routing / LOS effect on the sortie, where you can more easily guess a given map routing by yourself without needing to do several hundred runs.

|-|Upgrade system=
|-|Upgrade system=
*increase the screws/week from 4 to about 10 in end-game
The Akashi upgrade system is antiquated and convoluted, it needs some polish.
**maybe add one map (like a hard new EO) that can give 1 screw/run (eventually caped), or use some new expeditions

*Morale should come back to 50 when the girl rest.
**Maybe add a "relaxing mechanic" (like a dormitory, spa, onsen, restaurant…) where you can dock a limited amount of ship to raise their morale above 50 (maybe up to 100), maybe consuming some resources at the same time. You could have a tier system, where every +10 moral point you need exponentially more time/resources to get it.

**The drop system doesn't need anything more, but maybe the idea of a "mercy drop", in order to make doing 435 runs for one particular ship less likely.
**An idea would be to add a "drop pool", where you have all the droppable ships on a given map in it, and so when you drop a certain ship from this pool, her drop rate will decrease, making less likely to have to make a billion runs for any given ship (but still possible). Also, when all the ships of the pool have been dropped at least once, the pool rates reset.

**Since phase 2, there are less to no "non-sense" off-routing, so on almost any map, it's possible to have 1 route or multiple almost identical routes 100% of the time.

*In-game dev logs with the possibility to see past patch notes, so we can have a genuine way to see new stuff added for each update, with maybe some announcements on the side using a new kind of board, clearly separating the KC twitter account from the default changelog/announcement board.

Some Bugs and inconsistencies that should have been fixed years ago.
*Fit bonuses:

**No more hidden fit bonus (with guns mostly)
**More "logical" fits (by classes/nations) and logical effects (like AA bonus on CVs)
**No more OP fit bonus (a greater gear diversity is better than some meta defining ones)
**No more broken stats
*LBAS "F5" bug :
**This issue needs to be addressed, either by being fixed or by providing a real solution to keep chevrons.
**Making the Catalina rescue mechanic more logical by rescuing crews could help a lot.
*PVP swaps:
**PVP fleets swapping at the last second when going to fight them.
*All new ship CGs are immediately unlocked in the kancodex when introduce (if you have the said ship).
*Better management for special ships slots, like the Ise K2 class ones, where selecting the 3rd to 5th slots forbid you to put guns, even so the 2 firsts ones are free.

In the end, what I want here is a game with a bit more polish, which is beginner-friendly and still has an interesting late game.

I want to see more of the "announced" and/or "exclusive" content to be properly implemented in the game, making it looks more like an up-to-date game, and not just an old fossil with some paint.

For a final note, the best thing that could happen to Kancolle is having the developers listen to the community, because in 2021, most of the best FTP games see an active debate between their devs and fans, bringing a constant benefic feedback loop to enhance the game. Better than "me" to improve this game is all of us '''AND''' the devs.
