Here's something I've just noticed recently that could use improvement, but I don't know how hard it would be to implement:

When an empire is eliminated from the game, all of its designs disappear from the Enemy Ship Designs list (of course). If that empire surrendered to another player, the new empire inherits all the surviving ships, but they never show up on the enemy list again, even if you go into combat against them.As a result, you can't use the simulator to plan for battles, because you can't select these designs.

It would be good if captured ship designs were added to the list of the capturing empire's designs, as long as they were still in service.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
