Default RE: Enhancement requests

UI Interface Enhancement requests

- Add an additional display of news that has each item taking up even less space than they do without the images.

- Add a display of the Supply and Ordanance for planets when viewing them from the default screen. Feel free to decrease the amount of space the Resource fields take up.

- Add small icons so that when you click on a sector and it lists the fleets, planets, ships, satellite groups.... etc... you can see their status..... (Just like SE IV did)

- When transfering population to a ship, include the Millions of people as well as the amount of space they take. (Just like SEIV)

- Supplies and Ordance should be treated exactly like Cargo. Why can't I fill a cargo hold full of supplies and ordance to be delivered around the galaxy? Supplies and Ordance stored in this way, can't be used to resupply ships in fleets. Perhaps add a component that can transfer supplies from cargo to usable.

- Add Mood and Reproduction to the planet default display. Keep it simple. Go off of the lowest mood of the planet, either color code the population figure or add an icon next to it... smilie face, frowns... etc... For reproduction, an up arrow, down arrow or dash next to the population. This is determined by the overall change that would occur given the values of each race..... I'm assuming you can have negative migration? If not, perhaps an overall average of the percentages.

- When in the Fleet Transfer screen, the first ship and first fleet listed should automatically be selected.

- Condense the lists of troops, satellites, etc... just like SEIV did.

- Do not itemize the construction of each Unit that is built. Just like SEIV did

- When turning on Repeat Build, have a multiplication appear next to items in the list that will be built multiple times within a single turn.

- I'm unable to find it, but there is an icon that appears over ships that appear heavily damaged. The icon is a red barrel with a deep red or yellow (can't remember) X in the lower left corner. Anyway, when I place my cursor over it, the tooltip of what it is doesn't display.

- Overall, descrease the width of fields displayed in the various screens. Descreasing them will allow players to display more of them on the screen at once.

- Add a horizontal scroll bar for the various screens, since you are able to list more columsn of data than can fit on the screen.
