I always thought a fundamental flaw was that zombies always try to attack YOU and not your stuff. If they would occasionally target your containers and stations (instead of just incidentally killing them trying to get at you) then that would make blood moons a lot more interesting and difficult to defend against.
Death penalty should probably be a whole lot harsher too. If you leave it to default "drop all on death" then there almost is no death penalty. I think it should be more like EQ -- slap your XP off, even knock you down in level and make you lose skills if you die. ("Permadeath" would be too harsh for this game but EQ style XP loss would be appropriate.)
There should also really be one zombie type that cannot be stunned. Like maybe ferals are just the badass of the zombie world and you should wet your pants when you see one. But they really weren't that much worse.
The exploding green army guys are probably the worst but the only thing that really sets them apart is that they can blow up and ruin your defenses. The radioactive zombies were only bad if you didn't have the rad remover and especially if you didn't have good DPS as it would just make them hard to kill them through their regen.
