I love my Ghost. It's a Guardian's best friend but I'm gonna be honest... he's useless in the field... period. There's no point in having him with me in dangerous situations and seeing dead Ghosts everywhere makes me feel like I'm pointlessly endangering my Ghost. Why do I need him to call my ship to pick me? Why do I need him to summon my sparrow? Why use him as a flashlight? We have engineers at the Tower, dang good ones too. They can build devices to summon my ship and have it drop my sparrow. And if they can't make a flashlight, I'd feel safer floating from planet to planet rather than being in a ship made by them. All that said, I'm not saying replace the Ghost but make him an indispensable ally and tool.
He should be able to:
-Create a holo-map of places I've already been.
-Let me use him as a flashlight when I want him too (when I feel it's too dark) not when he wants too.
-Send distress signals to my comrades in the area before I die, not after.
-Scan enemies & inform me of their weakness.
-Offer access to a database (you could consider the grimoire this but I'd like to see my guardian accessing the information from my Ghost rather than me from my phone).
-Send messages to the ghosts of other Guardians (in game communication via the ghost if on another planet from a friend or don't have a microphone).
These are my suggestions on Ghost functionality upgrades. Bungie, if you see this, please consider some of these ideas.

Also ghost voice alternatives? Gary Busey would own. Morgan Freeman? Ya i might be asking to much there
-
Cool ideas. I hate that there isn't a map and I have to check my phone to figure out where I am. Flashlight toggle is a great idea too.

-
Yes this is a good idea, maybe even using the touch pad for some of this commands using our ghost

.....Or allow us to install a massive bloody pulse rifle on the little square headed freak.

You my man, are a freakin genius!!!
-
You should had helped developed the game!
-
Great ideas. Bungie get into it. [WOLF]
-
These are some pretty good ideas I'm on your side
-
Maybe something like a list of perks or bonuses you could choose from

Samuel Jackson navigation system. turn left moth@ Fu€ka!
-
Good idea, that's make the ghost more than cosmetic and a useless light source in the dark.
-
It'd be cool if you could record a voice message via ghost then send it to another guardian nearby or a friend. Then their ghost will have an audio cue about the message and they can either listen to it (it'll be your voice obviously) or ignore it for later. Kinda like an email like system

Awesome idea
-
The I love this community. For the most part everyone invests some time and actually tries to contribute to bungie and actually be helpful. The relationship between bungie and the community is amazing.

Please consider Bungie Gods

Best idea ever!!
-
Yeah, what a good idea.

The point of a Ghost and Guardian is a bit symbiotic. The ghost revives the guardian when he/she's down and provides small necessities like summoning your sparrow, flashlight, opening locked or encoded doors or teleporting you to your ship. The guardian protects the ghost and the traveler while crippling the darkness by taking out key members of the enemy factions. Both "live" and "die" together to ensure that humanity and the traveler survive. You make good points about upgrading the ghost as well.

Yes yes yes

I am really interested in the weak point scanning idea and holo map... Genius. Why can't we be developers? I come up with great ideas for games allll the time that aren't too far fetched. I wish I knew how to make games ;(
-
I love this idea. I would be cool if my ghost could turn into a hover board for roaming around like at the tower. No upgrades that make you more powerful than somebody but like letting you see hidden treasure and stuff.
