There is something I have not seen and would be interesting :

in the transfer screens, you have 1,5,10,all buttons, and when you want to transfer 200 millions pops from a planet to somewhere else, it is missing a 100 button.

Wouldn't this mean that the mount could be set to affect any type of component?

they already can, and do in several mods. like the 'smaller' components, or the 'cheaper' or the 'more expensive'

i especially like the P&N component enhancing stuff.

You are mistaking "None" for "Any".

None means only on NON-Weapons.
Any means any type of weapon.

I asked Aaron for a "move 50" button a long time ago, right after they added the "move 10" button (patch 1.30). He agreed it was a good idea, but I haven't seen it yet... maybe we need to bug him for both "Move 50" and "Move 100" buttons. It would be nice if the AI would take more advantage of partial population loads as well...

better yet, bug him for a "load/ unload X amount of cargo" function for order queueing.

Maybe a "spinner" (I think that is what it is called), where you just click on an up or down arrow to change the numbers.

Not only is he still working on it, but the latest beta has added the shield mounts, AND the new damage types I've been asking for! Yes, we can have all of Quad/Double/Half/Quarter damage to shields now!

It also says that Emissive Armor was 'fixed'. I'll have to test and see if it works like we expect now.

As for the 'load X amount' cargo command, yes that would be very nice. It might require design changes for the AI though. In other words, it might be harder than you think. But, you can always request it. Being able to queue up specific orders and set them on repeat would be a big help in the 'micromanagement' department.
