Another example of a good sortable report would be

265 planets

1 of them has a resource converter on it.

Can you tell me which one it is?

How about Select Planet Facility screen report and filter it to only show Resource Converters.

This drives me crazy in the game. Does anyone else see any value in this???

Most importantly, I think fixing bugs/design flaws is more important than new features.

Obviously my requests have been mentioned in many threads before by many different people, although not recently. Anyone know if Aaron has any plans to follow up on them?
An addendum to this:

In Simultaneous mode, when you launch units, have it ask you how many and what kind and store this as part of the orders, so you can selectively launch different kinds of satellites (for example) if you are carrying several kinds, and also only launch half of your capability instead of launching all.

Similar request for the Jettison Cargo order. Nothing irks me more than when I fill up a domed colony cargo with WP's and have a new design and my only choice is to jettison all of a particular design in order to make room for the new ones. I'd like to be able to jettison them one at a time please.

Yes this is important for all the system-wide facility types. I get a PBW turn and often wonder if I have created such-and-such system facility in a system and have to go check all the planets in the system manually to find it.

I see the value, and I like the way things were done in SE3 where you could do a few of the things you wanted. However, unless Aaron has been using a third party SQL database, or a format that can be used as one with an ODBC driver, this requires a lot of coding. Even with a database, it could take a while.

I believe at least #'s 1, 4, 9, 12, 14, 15, 20, 26, and 29 have already been requested by the beta testers. They had been included on a spreadsheet of requested changes.

edit: that is in regards to Aaron being informed of the requests.
