I want more ability to control fleets in simo games. There should be more selection in the menu.

Its just that me doesnt recall ever needing to move 1000's of cargo items in SE4g.

100's of cargo items, however, is commonly needed to move around and 10 per click really bothers me

I had to pester for over a year to get even that. It used to be only 1 and 5 on the menu. Good luck getting him to add a 20 button.

Go play Proportions Mod. Make a few 1000 infantry, and you'll see the need.

Well that cargo window still has alot room for all of them, like this:

move 1
move 5
move 10
move 50
move 100
move 500
move 1000
move 5000
move all

There, now THAT should do it

The ability to drop radiation bombs on uninhabited planets to make SURE they stay uninhabited!

You could generalize this in many ways. Why can't we get the stuff in 'ruins' off of a planet even if we can't colonize it? Why can't we plant a BASE on a planet without colonizing it? (Outpost?) A few new technologies for 'archaeology' and 'outPosts' could make for some interesting new situations in the game.

Pleeease, don't make too many sliders.

My Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is bad enough as it is. I have had to give up on games in the past because they are to mouse-intensive.

I want keyboard shortcuts, transfer 412 million people: T-4-1-2. Less work, and it gives the hand a rest.

Changing the current toggle-select UI. It was very confusing to look at "Empire under player control," think "I want that," click it, and have a green dot appear and the text change to "Empire under computer control." Let the text stay the same, and come up with some check marks or something that indicate whether the option described is in effect or not. There is another one under Empire -> Strategies that works like that, but I can't think of any other toggle boxes that do. It's just inconsistent; and while I'm used to those specific instances now, it was very confusing as a newbie.
