More numbers!

Mouseover your current metal/crystals OR the "Criminal Underground" button to see the buy/sell prices on the black market. This way, the buy/sell hotkeys can be used better.

The time to the next pirate raid can also be placed in the mouseover info for the "Criminal Underground" since there's nothing else there.

Add the option to show the time elapsed in a corner of the screen. This helps people analyze the speeds of doing certain strategies and lets us know when we've played too much.

Any other suggestions for numbers we should see?

- Better fleet management, ie drag-and-drop on the empire tree for moving ships between fleets.

- A faster way to move between planets, something akin to the alt-tab in explorer to walk the windows task list (can't be alt-tab since that's taken, but you get the point).

- Option to automatically re-sort the empire tree and put fleets adjacent to the planet they are currently visiting.

- When selecting ships on the empire tree, allow ctrl+select to add to selection.

cheers, Bird

I second that re: showing the game time on the screen, Oryly. Including the seconds.

I'd like to use it for testing stuff, and it's really nice that the timer takes into account game speed (including pauses), plus shows time down to the second.

But the only place you can see it, is on savegames.  ;p
