=Kancolle enhancement project=

The following list is what I think are good ideas to implement in KC in order to improve the game, while keeping its basic esthetic, and keeping in mind that it is still a free-to-play game that needs to make money. I absolutely do not want to transform this game into a generic and forgettable Gacha, I just want to imagine how an up-to-date Kancolle can be, with many features that I believe are missing in this 8+ years old game. I also consider that no 3rd party software should be used because if the game is "good enough" or even "perfect", it simply does not need such things (even so I will still use them myself).
