It would be nice if the game informs you about one of your ships suffering critical hull damage and it's time to withdraw it from battle.
Just the way it does for ships losing CR.

I would just like it if you could set a retreat threshold, so that if a ship got to say 50% hull, they'd retreat automatically.

Not if this is Onslaught or Astral the whole battle depends on.

That's why you'd set the threshold yourself. Maybe next to the CR slider in the refit menu would be a good place.

In general I'm in favor of outsourcing acute tactical decisions to pre-battle options. I't can be annoying if the game tries to pull you out of a dogfight to decide about a situation on the other side of the map.

I would not be in favor of automatically retreating (your ships don't reach a low CR don't automatically retreat). It would be nice to have something like 'X reports heavy damage' when hull reaches 25%, and then 'X reports critical damage' when it drops below 10%.

I'd be fine with a retreat-at-X-hull slider, (and warnings in general are of course desirable), but what I really want is a notification when a ship is facing a few times its strength in enemies. I find the difference between that and combat on an equal footing to be much larger in terms of "how quickly can I expect this ship to die?" than the difference between 80% hull and 40%.

Some ships tend to go from full to dead in a blink when they are small and the enemy is (much) stronger.

This might indicate something is wrong with commander's decisions.

CR notifications are already a little too spammy IMO. I wish the "has begun losing CR" warning wasnt as loud.
