In FFE's new (as of December 23, 2002) website, listed under "versions of traveller" is an image of a Traveller 5 logo, with the "words more to come" at the bottom.
Well, they can sign me up for a preorder right now, because I'm buying it.
However, I do have some hopes. For one, I'd like to see some simpler mechanics included, especially in character creation and economics. Perhaps more control over what each character gets.
In general, gear the system towards faster play, or at least faster GM setup. As an avid role player, I'm finding that I don't have the time to manage all those behind the scenes elements as I used to, and that really influences what I buy.
Fix the economics, provide more examples and fill in those gaps in the starship economy. Especially provide more examples of how free traders are supposed to make a living both on the fringes and in high population.
Provide more "official" Imperium setting information. I know T5 was supposed to be semi or fully generic, but many don't have time to create entire universes anymore. I'd like to know what's it like to just live in the imperium, without having to buy and read through obscure entries in many different books.
