I would really like some new settings introduced into the game.
1. Preset repair priorities, if I get a whole bunch of damage, it should always repair my engines first! I shouldn't have to tell it to! Or I should at least be able to designate an order in which it should always be repairing.
2. Firing and Cloaking - Automate this, decloak to fire, recloak after discharge
3. Color customization! - Allow us to set our own color outlines for friendly/enemy, as well as fleet or supply or even for individual players. That way in battle you can distinguish a supply ship among the friendlies in the swarm of battle.
4. Perhaps its just me but I want strafing thrusters? I want to be able to continue forward while slowly moving to the right or vice versa! You could even make these a device requiring fuel with slots on all ships but dreads and stations.
5. Do our ships have an endless power source?
6. You could run with that thruster idea, perhaps even create a special called a booster which is expendable but gets your butt moving in the driection you so choose. Say you could right click on the device and tell it which way to burn. You could even use them to stop rather abruptly?

1. Good Idea
2. No
3. YES! YES!
4. maybe but it should be on all ships. plus i think really tehre should be another contorl pad for contorling the way it bursts, maybe "The arrow keys *shurgs*
5. Well we can break this down into Game Fic, pretty much when ever you get supplied by a planet or supply ship you get the nessesery matrials to run your engines. And i think the engines are under the Ion Engine part of real science, where they are very very good at useing its fuel source
6. I like my #4 idea better =)

I like some of these, especially the selectable colour one.
It would be a great addition if you could distinguish friendlies in the heat of it.
