1. Name mining starbases after the resource they are mining. (Morale Mining SB 3784 v Mining Starbase 3784) Both player and AI.

2. Simple way to select all the ships at a square once I've selected one. (I may just not know it)

3. In governor's screen, way to say "All ships producing Foo, set your rally point to Bar". (this probably exceeds the one-hour rule)

4. Sort planets by orbitting ships (sort by total attack+defence of orbitting ships). Would help both finding undefended planets (and weakly defended ones) and planets with extra ships (for use in attack). Thought more in terms of my planets, but would also be helpful for foreign planets to, when I have that information.

5. More find-grained minimap zooming. On huge, 100 shows the whole map and 200 shows less than a quarter. After a few turns, I am working on a small portion of the map, but more than the 200 zoom-level shows.

6. Auto-cash/influence for trade (either the min I need to give or what the max they will take)

7. Display turns until destination reached in autopilot ships (estimate, naturally)

8. Make a planet defecting to you a social event to let you go there at your leisure.

9. Option to make ship production for colonies with a rally point not a social event. (default to current behavior) Will clean-up my interface when going constructor-crazy.

10. Unclaimed resources on minimap

11. Resource/SB list like planet and ship list. (almost certainly exceeds 1-hour limit, but alternative to #10)

12. Ship list limited to all/orbitting/not orbitting.

13. In governor's view of planets, distinguish between building nothing (no social building) and building nothing and no more empty squares. Perhaps "(nothing)" v "nothing". Ideally, available upgrades would be considered an empty square, but I understand if that's a performance problem (I use auto-build upgrades anyway).

14. When viewing a built building (or proposed), show value after bonus (in parens, maybe?)

15. The planet-square bonus adds to "Approval", but buildings add to "Morale". Unless these actually mean different things, resolve this particular disagreement. (I would like global agreement, but this would be a simple step to correct what I find the most confusing piece of the dual-term usage)

I have a list of simple bug fixes, but will hold off until on that list until I've observed them in the most recent patch.

Agree with autolaunch suggestion (maybe a pseudo rally point only for colonies?)

Here are some more 'easy' fixes

1) When a ship build event occurs on the GNN it would be great if it also said (Starport now Full) if that was indeed the case

2) It would be uber-cool if you could select a ship, hit a button to mark it some how. Then in your diplomacy screen all such marked ships would be marked with an asterisk. It would save me from writing down the numbers every time I want to sell/give ships to other civs.

3) When there are stacked ships there appears to be no way of telling how many troops a ship is carrying or how many moves it has left. This is a little bit frustrating.

Thanks for making a game that is one of my all time favourites!

Separate savegame folders for each game.
A way to change your ships colors once game starts. I picked red, and my opponent was same color.

It's not really that much of a problem, but I'd like being able to use tab to switch to the password field when you're signing in for a metaverse game.

I would dearly love to see some sort of notification (blink, change color, robot report) when a starbase is full and when it becomes open for new modules through research. When you have numerous starbases this is a pain to keep track of.

On the constructor preview of influence, I don't have a problem estimating that pretty acurately and anyway the influence grows a great deal with the addition of modules.

Change autopilot navigation so that ships prefer to move diagonally (across the coner of a square) first. As it is now, they waste moves going around obstacles.

It would be nice if in the trade screen, when you right click a mining starbase, it tells you what resource it's mining.

I wouldn't mind an option to see the owners' names on their ships and starbases on the main map, or as a tooltip. Having to select the ship or starbase whenever I'm not sure is no fun.

Isn't "battle of the gods" scenario supposed to start with all techs?

Yes, I started a BOG game last night just to design some ships.

Design them, save them and quit the game the designs will be there for you when you have the tech level

If it hasn't already been mentioned, the ability to delcare war formally would be nice withotu having to attack a ship.

Hi,
Not sure these have been mentioned, and probably not so easy a tweak but:

1) This was mentioned but: a way to disable the tuen button when not on main map. I too have hit turn when in planet screen or ship design when I meant to hit 'Done',
2) Please: a view on the mini map or any map when on the planet screen. There is no way I can remember where each planet is when moving through them from GNN or whatver. Maybe make the plater surface view window a tabbed view to go from surface to map, showing where planet is.

Maybe these are in the game somewhere, but I havent found them, and would REALLY like to see them:

1) Ability to upgrade all ships in a fleet, assuming the whole fleet is the same class of ship. Hate having to upgrade each ship manually

2) Ability to issue an order to upgrade all ships EVERYWHERE when you obsolete a ship after creating a replacement ship (so when you obsolete a ship, asks you if you wish to upgrade all those ships to a new class)

3) And most importantly, I want to more easily SEE enemy ships on the map. Need an option to put a halo/glow/circle of that races colors around that ship/fleet. Its easy to spot enemy ships when youre zoomed out and in icon mode, but zoomed up close, especially when looking at small/tiny ships, its very annoying.
