I was perusing the forums a bit lately, and Ive noticed a rather large missing type of forums heading. it occurred to me that we really don't have a place to talk about the features of the current game state, or specific problems with it.
I have often made my criticism about the docking system quite clear. my feelings is that any feedback what so ever, including suggestions on changing or attempting to fix it, does not belong in the suggestions section, and that has never changed. but recently when I posted about it, I discovered that it was also out of place here in the general discussions section as well.
We do actually need somewhere to do this exact kinds of discussions. For the things that are already in the game. The suggestions section, is for either upcoming features, or to address the possible additions, (not fixes) to them. and that is no place to discuss systems already in an official capacity out in the stable builds. when they are at this point they need to be considered as part of the actual game.
we need a feedback section to talk about the fixes to existing systems so that the aforementioned forums isn't bogged down by unnecessary threads on systems that are not likely to receive attention any time soon. which usually are the things already in the game. look at how long the crafting system took to be redone. I'm not saying new ideas are bad, but we need to move forwards with new ideas, and let the old ones go somewhere else.
