*Based on lots of discussions thrown around in the lobby*
Profile Character:
The idea that profiles can be given more 'Color' instead of just being a place to view the nice array of badges. It could be a place to view the personal data for that player's character. Such data would be stored on the left hand side of the current profile. Which, in modification, would be:
Player Name: Faustus
Player ID: 1
Character Name: Richard 'Faustus' Lyle
Race: Human
Age: 1.5
Gender: Male
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Homeworld: Exathra
Faction: Interstellar Cultural Confederation
Fleet: Admin
Presteige: 85815.8
Rank: Grand Admiral
Primary Starship: CSS The Big Faustito
Registration Date: May 29, 2001
Last Login: September 28, 2004
Occupation: Lead Programmer / Designer
Location: Austin, TX
Homepage: http://www.palestar.com
This is just a very BASIC modifcation, I can probably bet that Gideon can create a far more detailed.
As said, the personal profile information is permanent, only modifyable by 'Reset State'. Further details implimented later on.

What i am sort of missing in all MMOG's so far, but is really plain obvious once you come to think about it, is a clear separation between in-character and out-of-character information.
Now, this applies less to DS than elsewhere, but it's just one of my "idee fixes" (wow, my french sucks), so anyways..
When i call up information about a Player, there are generally 2 categories: Technical account specific information like @id, true account name, and game context specific information like fleet, faction, current nickname.
I think those 2 should be visually (and by design) separated.

I would LOOOOOVE to have a character bio! You all know how much I love RPing by now anyways 
Char Name
Char Rank
Char Age
Char Race
Char Sex
Char Home
Char Faction
Char Fleet
Char Flagship
Char Style (Aggressive, Passive, Support, Sneaky... etc)
Char Adversary (Arch Enemy, this should be decided by both players )
Char Bio (includes history, how they came to be where they are, etc. May need 2 or 3 textboxes for this, bios should be very very detailed.)

Must include:
Placeholder for last player character killed (and rank)
>>> Most Recent Kill: [TWP]Lunatiq - FA
Character motto
Favorite Food
Family information (parents occupations, sibling info, if applicable)
Favorite Hang/Hide out
Pet's name and species, if any
Career Highlights - Academy, Awards, etc.
Banking institution (just kidding)
Maybe even an open log entry, maybe space for a couple of sentences to fill in. "On patrol in Nicea system. What a crappy system, not sure why the fleet wants it so bad" (Sorry Reason, couldn't resist  ).
