Things we'd like to see in the next patch

[Gryphin]

I would like Satelites to fire first.
Situation:
Defending Warp Point with
78 Satelites each with 4 Direct fire weapons.
20 Battle Crusiers each with 8 of the same weapons

TDM race knocks on the door with 40 plus ships most with the Talisman.
At least 8 of the TDM BCs were withing range of the Sats
My BCs open up first knocking out 5 of them. The Sats take out the remainging 3 within range. Only 40 to 45 of the Sats fired. (that was very tedius counting).
If the Sats had fired first the BCs could have taken out ships further away.

Anyone else have this desire?

I would appreciate a button 'Add all' included in the trade technology screen. It takes (sometimes) time and patience to click every tech you've researched to give to your partner. It would be great just to click once and like in fleets window - add all and that's it. If you are a trader - you can NOT to click that button and work your way as usual. I've played a couple of games when the tech level is extremely important and it is great when you have a couple of partners who are sharing all techs with you.

Actualy I'd like to see tech tradnig/ gifting made a little more clear. Instead of having to gift

ship construction
ship construction
ship construction

to give SC IV, I think you should click a tech to gift/ trade and then a popup box should ask you what level you want.

I'd like to see a new System type:
Slows down ships movement by 1/6 through 5/6ths of a ships speed with or without a destructive core.

Edit: Hmm, whsy stop with system typs. It would be cool to apply it to sectors. Imagine the fun Fyron cvould have with that.

My current solution is to madly click the mouse button while moving the mouse down the list.
You get some items twice, but that's no big deal.

On the other side, your partner will be spammed with "useless tech, sire" Messages from all the stuff he's already got, but that's filterable, and not your problem

SJ that's the way I do it i.e. madly clicking every tech. But if you have let's say 4 partners? Oh man!
That's why I ask for this 'feature' which I think shouldn't be very difficult to implement but would really save some time and fingers

I suppose the easiest way would be to jot down the research log Messages you've recieved for the Last few turns since sending the previous tech exchange.
