The following list is what I think are good ideas to implement in KC in order to improve the game, while preserving its core aesthetic, 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 12+ 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 if I would probably still use some myself).

'''{{color|red|Increase the dock size to around 150 ships for all players.}}
*For now, free players are supposed to:
*#Clear hundreds of composition and sortie quests, each requiring different ships, being a minimum trained if not remodeled,
*#Have high-level META ships,
*#Perfectly lock ships on each event, when the average lock per event is increasing, with the average medium+ player locking 120+ ships.
**=>This is madness and way beyond reasonable.
*Maybe giving those 50 new slots in several mid to late-game hard quests, maybe unlocked with HQ.
*Maybe also give 5-10 slots with a hard quest for each KC anniversary, depending on the recently added ships.
{{color|red|All ships required in quests '''must be''' obtainable at any moment}}, so you are not blocked at some point, praying for the next event ([[Gotland]], [[Fletcher]], [[Johnston]], [[Samuel B. Roberts]], [[Gambier Bay]], [[Shinshuu Maru]], [[Hatsuzuki]], [[Richelieu]], [[USN]] SS, [[Momochi]], ...).
*Making them "normal" drop is the best way to fix it,
*Another way to fix it, is to modify those quests, so they can accept the unavailable ship, as well as some other alternative.

**Maybe giving those 50 new slots in several mid to late-game hard quests, unlocked with HQ.
{{color|red|All equipments required in quests '''must be''' obtainable at any moment}}, so you cannot be blocked forever if you lose unique quest equipments (see [[User:Jigaraphale/Sandbox/1|Unobtaiable equipments]]).
*'''{{color|orange|Every equipment must be obtainable}}''' (via craft/Akashi/quest/stock equipment) "at some point", no matter the price, so you can eventually complete the kancodex,
*Newer equipments may eventually become obtainable for all, but only several months/years after introduction, so to maintain the edge for more advanced players,
*"Special/greater/rarer" equipments should be "limited" (not including events/ranking) and harder to obtain, to avoid power creep, as it is already done for some, and still giving a good reason to rank and play in harder modes.
**It is better to have an equipment behind a "Nonaka price" rather than not obtainable at all for no reason.
Rework all the shop economy! Some items are too expensive (resources, consumables, …), too cheap (dock extensions, rings, …), and/or useless.
Equipment preset deployment must be fixed!
*It can be improved by separating saves by ship types (BB with BB, CV with CV, DD with DD…) just like the ship selection tab.
*Setups using RE or already equipped equipment not being usable on any ship is a complete nonsense, and should just work as for fleet presets, here only equipping the relevant and available equipment, with just a message warning about that.
*This would make much more sense than the mess currently there, finally adding a real solution for equipment presets.
A more explanatory crafting system (something that is not some witchcraft recipes like now),
*Maybe just give some guidelines/probabilities on which class of equipment/ships you are going to craft within a range of resources used,
*Make LSC great again! For now, it is just a Maruyuu machine… with no real purpose for ship building in late-game.
More quest info:
*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.
