Hi! New guy with ideas!

I suppose this is a good place to put this; I'm new around here, so I'm sorry if I this is the wrong category. Anyway, First, It would be a lot more convenient to have an ETA displayed on Jumping ships or fleets; both in transit and when giving orders. It just seems to me that the commander of a fleet consisting of millions of soldiers and computers wouldn't need to guess that sort of thing himself.

Second little thing: Whenever I shut down SoaSE (GASP!), It works fine, but pops up a box saying that the program crashed. Well, yeah, it did crash, it's supposed to when I close it! Anyone have a way to suppress this?

I've been playing alot of Dwarf Fortress and so I'm used to offering suggestions. Is that poor ettiquite here? I noticed that there are a few threads open on things to fix before the or with the expansion, and I do have to aggree with some of these; like the "moar planites types!" and "Moar diffrant aleans!" suggestions. I don't think "Can we has DX10 noaw?" would be all that great; It don't think it worked for Halo 2, and I think the graphics are great as the are now... But again, I am comparing it to Dwarf Fortress...

So, Thanks Stardock, this game is wonderfull!

That's some awesome graphics!
Reminds me of some old adventures of the 80's.

I wouldn't mind an ETA feature: time to jump when selecting groups to jump together would be excellent.

He. Yeah, that's the Old Version; the new version of the pre-alpha (It's been in alpha for the past two or three years) has a lot of new features and depth, but still looks just about as bad; though with some nice tilesets it starts to look halfway decent.
