Default Re: Next patch requests

- Larger and/ or wrappable combat map.

- Alter the route- finding code so that ships and fleets carrying out "move to" orders will look for a friendly resupply depot in their current system, and check to see if it can be included in their flight-path without adding extra time to their journey. If it can, the ship/ fleet should automatically resupply and continue their journey.

I'm sick of seeing half-supplied fleets sail within one square of a resupply depot when they could have easily resupplied without using any extra movement points.

I should think this feature would also improve the AI's performance slightly, since it would reduce the chance of AIs sending under-supplied ships into battle. This is especially important since the Last patch, which (rightly, imho) took all weapons fire away from zero-supply ships.
