Little Changes That Would Help a Lot...

I have been playing and enjoying SWTOR quite a bit.
There are a number of things I'd like to see as patch fixes, though, and was wondering what other "minor" improvements other players would like to see that would help a great deal.
The following is a list of things that I *think* would be relatively easy to fix (from a coding perspective) that -- for me, anyway -- would much improve my "quality of life" in SWTOR:
(1) A "Hide Helmet" option for Companions
(2) Completed crafting missions should go into "Pending" (rather than just closing any open active windows)
(3) Make the Fleet Pass a 2-way ticket... (a long cooldown is fine)
(4) An option to silence the droid on your ship
(5) An option to turn off the "combat chatter" of companions
(6) Allow players to "Friend" their alts
(7) Allow players to obtain/purchase shared storage space for alts on a server
(8) A "sell trash items" button for players to use
(9) Maps should be able to display multiple items (mailboxes AND trainers, for example)
Comments
I'll agree with all of the above and throw in a few of my own. (most of my issues deal with the UI)
1) The ability to move the damn party member window (I dont like my chat window at the top of the screen, but if I move it to the bottom, it covers the party window)
2) The ability to disable auto self-casting of beneficial abilities (that way I dont have to change my target when I'm trying to heal someone)
3) More than just 2 bottom quickslot windows. (There are too many skills, not enough bottom quickslot spaces for them)
4) Make the lower bottom quickslot 1 through = by default, not the upper bottom quickslot
5) The UI is just plain ugly!! Throw it out and make it again!!
6) Change the decision wheel choices to accurately reflect what your character will say. (There have been several times I pick a response, and my character says something completely different)
7) I'd like a helmet that doesn't make my character look like a tool.
8) Incude a /command to show and hide helmets (if there is one already I didn't see it)
9) Increase max party size to 5 or 6 people.
I just want improved loading times. The amount of time it takes to log into the game after character selection, and to load planets is atrocious. Even with an SSD. It's almost as if I'm having to download the damned planet from their servers every time.

I keep hearing people complain about load times. I'm really curious as to what many people consider a long load time because my game, with my mediocre gaming PC, always seems to load fairly quickly (5 to 8 seconds, typically). I'm curious as to why other people, with more powerful machines, might be having a tougher time with load screens than myself.
All my settings are set to High also.
I would like to add having a load screen every time I alt+tab out and back into the game window. It really becomes troublesome when I accidentally hit alt+tab in the middle of a fight.
This to. I can't believe I forgot about it.
BTW, I have everything on high and my computer runs almost every other MMO I've played at 100+ FPS. I have no performance problems with SWTOR once I'm actually in the game playing it. It just takes forever to get there. I'm talking about thrity seconds or more from the time I leave my ship until I can do anything on the planet.
