I would like to have my tech achievments in order of power...what I mean is, take engines... I would like to see them in order of power/speed regardless of the tech level or name of the engine. Same with the weapons from the weakest to the most powerfull. As it is now I have to scroll through the whole list of weaps/engines/sensors etc to find the best one.

I would like the option of putting money into preventing spying on my civ...does the AI do that? that way I can prevent them from finding out what I am researching.

I would like to see the AI follow the same range limitations that I have....I am currently playing a game where a civ in the back corner of galaxy (set on gigantic) can declare war on me and send ships clear accross to me on the other side but i cant get to them...I have sent out a high speed scout and they have NO bases or plants anywhere near enough to me to get at my planets......Also the U.P. did not vote on base sharing so that is not the case.
