Um, they do have system wide abilities... at least AFAIK (v1.35) ...

...try it with v1.41 ...I was surprised also.

I can't.

Thus, one big bug that needs fixing:

Communication Logs crash the game under WinME

Note: if I install 1.41 under Win98, SE4 works perfectly fine. WinME chokes every time.

EDIT: to fix quote

My wishes are

1. the ability to filter reports ( all of them, Scrolling sucks )

2. All system wide abilities show up on the system map if the option is turned on.

IS there a way to create your own hot keys ???

2 wishes

1. the ability to filter reports ( all of the different reports )
2. The ability to show all system wide facilities on the sytem map.

sorry about the double post. I thought the first one was lost.

In addition to all that has been suggested already (no need to rehash), I'd like to see

--the ability to manually set the order of individual ships within a fleet. (If this can be doen already, someone please tell me how!)

--the "Enter" key work like expected (like CW's suggestion for "Esc").

--under the Planets button, the ability to sort by planet type (R/I/G). Also a button under Planets to filter out planets in systems colonized by others.

That's all I can think of for now. So who's gonna volunteer to package all these and e-mail 'em to MM?

SJ: a shot in the dark but... have you tried disabling Active Desktop under WinME? SEIV under 98 SE was giving me fits till I realized Active Desktop had been enabled accidentally (probably by my son's random clicking).

Satellite Groups and fighter Groups should be counted as fleets, in that you can set a formation and strategy for them. Fighter Groups should use the "launch x number of units" as the number of fighters in each position.

Satellites should spread themselves around the formation evenly. (I.e, if there are 20 satellites and ten positions in a formation, then each position has two satellites.)

The AI should periodically jettison/scrap weapon platforms and satellites and replace them with updated Versions.

Ah, forgot to add another:

The design minister should assign armor by amount of protection per 10kt, not per components. So they stop using Scattering armor and use my armor IV, V and VI components.
