C# Suggestions

[xenoscepter]

That's already been implemented via Rescue Shuttles. Also, the deliberate allocation of superfluous Spare Berths has been removed from C#, a feature I would sorely like back...

Thus, Ship A and Ship B will seldom if ever have enough spare room to store survivors. Instead, Cryo Berths are used for that purpose. Which kinda sucks... since it would be nice if we could integrated rescued crew, or daresay even commanders, into ships that had suffered casualties.

Also, being able to build out some extra Crew Quarters to stave off Life Support failure on account of battle damaged Crew Quarters would be nice.

I may have wrote what i meant incorrectly,
This is small ship that is ment to help both in boarding and rescue situations:

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes
now having 8 ships of that class in my temporary hospital fleet, i rescued around ~4000 survivors, but those are split between first two ships in the fleet. having them overcrowded while there is still spare space on another ships.

Still, sharing and refilling crew would be also a nice one to have.

Maybe there's already a way to do this and I'm just missing it, but I would love a way to create a research project straight from a prototype.

The fix for rescue shuttles has been implemented in v1.12.0, the fix is not live yet.

Click on the prototype component under the design window, on the bottom right a new button called reasearch proto should appear. Once clicked just go under the research tab and research the component. It will be there then.

* Delivering survivors to a race's controlled planet should yield diplomatic points,
* Ships containing diplomacy module should be exemp from penalties of being in restricted system, (diplomacy module should be able to stay in restricted sysyem)

[esavier]

multiple tugs should contribute to  hauling speed
( right now tug fleets are counterproductive )

[esavier]

* there should be reverse filter in event window, working similary to "grep", i.e. you want messages only on specific topics (right now we can specify only one topic to listen to)
* there should be possibility to allow player to check what event to pause on

* there should be possibility to allow player to check what event to pause on

There is already an approved mod for this

Auto-delete Empty fleets.
A button to remove all empty fleets in the same way all empty colonies can be removed. Because when 80 fighters have been killed by close range beam and missile fire as they are damaged and drop out of formation they spawn a fleet each and then when they die that empty fleet remains and they clutter the fleet list a lot and need individual deleting

I believe there is a mechanic for allowing a diplo ship in a restricted system - from here http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=8495.msg118318#msg118318

NPRs deduct 10,000 tons from the tonnage of one Diplomatic Ship (see Part 8) per system for threat purposes if that class type has never fired weapons and the Diplomatic Ship is in a non-Core system. If the NPR only has one system, it is not treated as core for this purpose.

Something came to me as I was starting new game. We are near the default starting year of Aurora with no TN minerals in sight. Maybe Steve should set new default starting year, that is farther in the future.

I'm loving the new prototypes feature, but I think it could be even better.  I'd like to be able to create research projects for parts I don't have the tech for.  Currently, if you make a prototype using tech you don't have, like a twin gauss turret when you haven't researched the gun yet or an engine with fuel use 0.5 when you're only at 0.6, the part has (FP) next to it in the class design window, and the button to make a research project from it is hidden.  Even when you finish the necessary techs, that button never reappears.

I am not sure you can prototype it, but there is a flag to see the next available tech though...

[Barkhorn]

You CAN prototype it, I just did it.  I'm saying you can't create a research project from it even once you have the requisite techs.  The button never appears, so you have to design that part again.  Maybe it's incomplete or not working as intended.
