This is a game-changer.

Oder by Promotion Points would be a nice addition for RP reasons in the Commanders screen.This is the 2.4 change discussion thread, not the suggestions thread.
If you're playing a 2.5.0 game, then yes, 2.5.1 will be save game compatible.
But seeing as you posted in the 2.4.0 changes thread, then your game will not be compatible with the latest version.
One option I would love on the mineral search window, would be to exclude colonised bodies - its main purpose is to find potential colonies, and existing ones are kind of clutter when doing that.
So the change to Known Stars (from 4,400 to over 63,000 known systems) had me wondering what the distribution of systems looks like now. Mainly I was wondering how it might affect the rate of coming across starting NPRs in a given min-max range. So I made a graph because of course I did.
It would be nice if there was an export feature for the player races, NPRs, and minor races. Keep the naming themes, flags, ships, stations, ranks, etc.
Ya would be cool. Could allow people to pre-build full universes for the different sci fi franchises. The ability to import your work for a new game or allow other player to include it in their games. A similar export would also be nice for the ground forces to. So much work goes into designing large organization it would be nice be able to import orgs you've done from older games on the same aurora version or adopt ones other players have done.
What about writing a program to do the cross referencing for you?
It's not that straightforward, especially with many different data sources in different formats, covering different subsets of stars for different purposes, mostly with free text information and no APIs. Humans are still better in that situation than computers.
Otherwise, some very smart person would already have a master database of stars created for more scientific purposes than Aurora, and then I could have used that
