A few ideas for improvement

Great game and I thought that since the devs actually use input from the boards (crazy I know) it was worth a shot. A few minor tweaks that would make things a bit better imo. If these functions already exist somewhere, please let me know.

Planet Naming. I'd simply like to be able to name uncolonized planets.

Planet List. An icon indicating if it's colonizable or not would be nice. Easier to pick through to find ones you should send ships to.

Tech Trades. I'd like to see the actual report come up when you gain a tech through trade.

Ship stacking. It'd be real convenient if you could group a ship as a stack, lock the stock with a button and/or hotkey, and have that stack move as one unit at the speed of the slowest ship. Especially helpful for protecting troop transports. If you want to break the stack, just hit the lock button and/or hotkey again.

Bookmarking. Really would be nice to be able to center the view on a rally point. I play on gigantic galaxies and keeping track of the various battlefronts can be a little tricky. I think this would solve the problem nicely.

Ship upgrades. Only thing I wish was that the upgrade list was alphabetical.

End of Turn report minimizing. I'd like to be able to minimize the EoT report window. That way if I lose several battles during a turn, I can center view on each and rebuild a ship or make adjustments in the area without having to make a note of where it happened. Either that or have battles show up on the right side of the screen so you I can center on them later.

What I would like to see is the some of the diplomatic interaction between AI's. If you have you espionage at the highest level, you should be able to intercept some of this information. For examble, "The Drengin just traded Huge hulls for whatever." Maybe, "The Yor have are issuing threats to the Torians. Their relationship is going to hell."

Just pick the unowned tab on the planet list to see only planets that are available.

I wish the unowned tab would tell you the planet type (radioactive, barren, aquatic, etc.) instead of having to click through them and look... Minor annoyance, just my 2 cents

I would love an option switch so that I don't get asked if I want to sell off all ships that I have when I obsolete the design. I try to keep as few designs active as possible and occasionally I will hit the wrong answer on that question and end up with 500 credits but half my fleet is gone.

Heh, another fault on my part. I meant I wished the unowned list showed if I could colonize or not just like nonexistant said.
