Interface improvement suggestions for patch
I'd like to propose some interface improvements:
1) There needs to be some way to sort the vehicles list in the Scrap/Analyze/Mothball/Self-Destruct window, and/or to filter it by fleet. I sometimes have literally hundreds of ships & bases at my homeworld (where there are lots of space yard bases, and I mothball all the old little ships against future emergency). The current screen seems to put them in some random order, even where you built several ships of the same class in the same turn.
2) The fleets on the Ships/Units window won't sort by name. Individual ships do, but fleets are in some random order (maybe by the default name before I typed in my own name, I'm not sure).
3) A filter in the Planets window similar to the "No Sys to Avoid" filter, which would be "Only Systems I Claim". I often don't want to make those alien systems "systems to avoid" because then I can't order my exploration ships through their warp points from a distance. However, I don't want planets in them cluttering up the list when I'm deciding where to colonize next. This is particularly a problem in that the program does not "remember" that Last time you had a ship in the system that planet had an alien colony on it.
4) Have the program remember the state of explored systems as you Last saw it as far as alien colonies go. If you click on it on the galactic map and bring up its system map, the alien colonies should appear as of the Last time you were there. A message should appear at the bottom of the screen saying "as of Game Date xxxx.x" or some such. Planets that were, the Last time you saw them, occuppied by aliens should not show up as "Empty" on the Planets window.
