Not to disagree with all the wonderful suggestions for additions so far, but
I like the speed the game moves at now; I'd hate to see a lot of additional
detail cause it to take twice as long to do a move.  I have nothing against
options for things like more detailed combat, but I personally like being
able to resolve battles quickly.  I never seem to have all that much time to
play as it is!

With speeding game play in mind, there is one feature I'd like to request.
I love the way that scouts are automatically put into seperate fleets, but I
generally create new scout types (REAL cheap, but long range & miniaturized)
and would like them to behave the same way.  How about any ship that isn't
a colony, and has weapons+shields < 4 be treated as a scout?
