Default Re: New Features You Would Like to See That Would Have to Be Hard Coded

Well, there are things that need to be done to improve the UI (User Interface.) The UI gets cumbersome when you have a big empire. These things include:
- When you are working your way down a list and goto an item, usually there is no way to quickly return to your place in the list.
- The 'Ships/Units' screen has no way to display just Fleets PLUS ships that are not currently assigned to a fleet.

Lots of people have asked for the ability to create facilities/components that have additional empire-wide effects. For example:
- An empire-wide 'happiness' generator.
- An empire-wide ship/fleet experience generator (perhaps coupled with an empire-wide 'unhappiness' generator.)
- An empire-wide robotoid factory.

Ring Worlds/Sphere Worlds (RW/SW) have almost no reason to exist. It would be nice if they had some additional abilities. For example:
- Maybe RW/SW might serve as platforms for the new empire-wide facilities.
- Maybe RW/SW might be able to perform some of the Stellar Manipulation (SM) effects AT A DISTANCE (IE shoot storms at enemy planets, destroy planets, poison/destabilize warp points, etc
- Perhaps a RW/SW might serve as a platform for a long range artillery facility. IE target ships/planets on the strategic screen. This would give SE4 modders the ability to recreate the 'Guns of Navaronne' scenario.
