When viewing a system show what ships and colonies are in the system the Last time the player could see it

If this is put in, it really should be set to off by default. Not everyone has the luxury of game files in excess of several megabytes. Even if it's just limited to storing the ship class/planet population, that's a lot of extra data to keep track of for each player.

Um, ctually, that's not true. The data is all IN there already -- EVERY PLAYER gets that same .GAM file. So, that .gam file already includes data on which worlds are colonies -- and even, what EXACT facilities are on each, etc.

And the design data for each ship, to the exact component.

NOT just for the race you're playing. You may only see one race's worth of information, but it'd be no difficult thign to at -least- still mark -colonies- (don't show population, don't record shisp or orbitals or units, just mark them as COLONIES of the owning race). The information is all in there already, after all. The EXE just has to let us SEE some more of it.
