The thing I'd like to see in tactical combat is a "conclude combat peacefully" option. Sometimes I go in to soften up the opponent without destroying them. (Maybe I want to board / invade later on) I might take out the "disposable" enemy ships in the first few turns but then I have to press "End turn" 20 odd times because if you ask the computer to end combat it will obliterate everything it can.




screen wrap would be neat, but you would still need to increase the size, as your starting points would need to be closer to the middle so that people cant just jump to the other side of the map and be in point blank range when they start.
