suggestions:
Global trade/commodities screen UI:
- Add 'buy' and 'sell' prices to the sortable lists of commodity suppliers/consumers and make them sortable by it.
- When I'm clicking on a system on the map(in the top right corner of commodity screen) it should hide other systems - making the producers/consumers tabs only show the "local" selection of the clicked on system (including if I click on the current system). Clicking on empty space should go back to showing all systems.
- Add sortable distances.
- Maybe unite it with the things f1 popup screen shows, to make it the screen for price arbitrage.
dialogue UI:
- Highlight the target system/base in quest dialogues (in different color or font).
- Make the target system/base in quest dialogues clickable - redirects you to showing it on map, or at the very least add a directional arrow near distance, like in the planet list.
- Make "story" quests option a different color, otherwise they aren't much different from repeatables for the player.
UI:
- Add take all/put all items buttons (maybe make its icons as arrows) in storage UI.
- Don't remove storage places from the list of expenses (d-1) when you don't have anything in it, just show them as a dropdown with 0 monthly cost - good to keep track of where you have it. Same for "abandoned" storage places.
- Make hullmods hover-over-able/clickable in the opened "?" information window.
- Maybe streamline and standardize how ship sizes are distinguished in names and displayed on F and R screens, so that the influence on modifiers from ships size is more obvious.
- Add visual separation to hullmods list: combat, civilian, phase, automatic hullmods, with different background colors for example.
- Hull sorting on the actual fleet lists (hotkey f), with the same options as in custom production (d5q).
- Do you really need 2 maps? Can't you integrate quests into 1 map? switching between the 2 is annoying.
- Planets list UI: more filters, like checkbox list of planetary modifiers to narrow down them better.
- Show "has unexplored ruins" on star map, in the planet list and planet description.
- Make ship design saving UI more intuitive; currently it has too many clicks, and confusingly you have to click "cancel" in the end. Just have it in one button and let it be named there instead of going back and forth.
- Show current production quality with all the modifiers in its tooltip in the custom production screen.
colonization:
- Add missing text to "decivilized" icon, as it only appears after you've colonized.
- Maybe make "decivilized" removable, once you've reached max colony size.
- Add missing conditions/icons, that only appear after you've colonized.
mechanics:
- Ship parking: allow 'parking' of ships at stations and planets - they'll have slightly reduced combat readiness and supply use. But it will allow to own more ships than the limit is and to fly around a system with more efficient ships, while the big guns are waiting.
- Delivery service: pay someone to ferry all my hulls and/or storage to another storage.
- Diplomacy: It's annoying that expeditions essentially just reduce relationship.. considering that you can have huge worlds they should be able to just accept you as independent nation eventually - through wars and bribery, let's say, when one of player's world reaches 6 pop - it should become an option with every faction - to demand recognition, then raid a couple of worlds or if friendly relationship - pay a few of their worlds. And then it just sets rep to 0 with them and no more rep reductions with you from random dude conflicts, unless it's a formal war.
- Allow hiring officers & administrators above the use limit.
