1. Slowdown – Major #1 Primo desire - We need the ability to really slow the game down. Right now I play on the slowest available speed setting and the game still seems to fly by so fast that I feel like I am missing most of it. This is a problem common to the genre and it is one reason I quit playing them years ago. I really, really enjoy looking around and seeing the world I am playing in. In Star Fury, there is simply no time to do so. There is a pause button, but it simply freezes the game. This does not help, as one is unable to look around space, examine objects, etc. So, #1 feature request: Give the slowdown function the ability to slow the game to a virtual stop.

2. Autosave – How many times have you gotten bLasted or crashed and THEN remembered that you had not saved the game since before supper got cold? Aaaaargh! Designate 2 save game slots to the PC as “autosave” slots and have the option of having the game save automatically after every cargo is delivered.

3. Ship re-configuration confirmation: Make all changes in ship configuration (new components, etc.) optional until a “Confirm Changes” button is pushed. That way we can look over the new ship specs and the effect on our finances before committing to a mistake.

4. Print function for reports, especially the ship inventory screen. Minor request for the engineer/accountant in all of us.
