It would be nice to be able to connect to the ships you own, and be able to remote-manage the crews, and have the ship's pay listed in the Crew Pay tab of the UI.
Also, Remembering the Sorting method chosen (a line of XML) so re-logging into a MP server to quickly find an item you know is in ship's inventory by material & rarity sorted isn't so awkward.
While in RTS/Tactical View, a right-click Menu like the original, for Task control of the selected group of ships would be quite handy. As it is now, the ship(s) selected can only be moved about, with limited Tasking. I recall a right-click menu that only had "Move Here"; that could be utilized to add the Task assignment to that group once it arrives at the destination. Example: "Mine" would send the ship(s) to the location of right-click and upon reaching that point, they are assigned the Mining Task.
For Player-Owned ships, remembering the Task assigned (as they do when set to Patrol, or Attack Enemies) for Salvage-assigned ships would be most helpful with cleanup. A simple event monitor such as Attack Enemies has to trigger Salvage ships when a Wreck is spawned.
What's with Guard This Point? It's the same as Escort in appearance, as the ship assigned this task follows, instead of actually Guarding (Escorting a coordinate instead of another structure; returning to that point once combat is done)
LOVE the game so far! Keep up the great work!
