I'd like to see a ship design 'wizard'. For vetran players, ship design is nice and easy, but for those new to the series, the ship design could be a bit intimidating, especially if they start a game with all techs researched and/or install a mod that adds a load of new comps.
Basically, if you clicked on the 'Wizard' or Helper or whatever you want to call it, a window would pop up with a series of tabs that would guide a player through ship construction. So you'd have 'Required Comps' which would show basically just bridge/CC/LS, or fighter bays/cargo/colony pods if applicable (and reactors if we get them!), then once those were in place it would move on through Propulsion, Armor & Shields, Weapons, Combat Support , Misc.

I know we can do something similar by changing which component types are displayed, but for a new player who isn't really sure what they're doing, it'd be quire helpful.

This is what the Ship Design AI minister is for. No need for any special wizards...
