Would it be possible to make this list customizable in future releases?

Not likely soon. These are all events that will need action by the player and I don't want to get into a situation post-release where players miss things of this type. Maybe in a while I will look at it.

So I had an idea while talking to people on the discord about invaders.  I know they've been taken out of the game for now.  What if though instead of randomly appearing from wormholes every once in awhile they were a large, powerful, established NPR-style race.  Like when you came across one of their systems the game would generate a dozen or more systems that they own.  Or when the game starts, guess it doesn't matter.  But yeah the idea is just that they're an established race with actual territory and perhaps they're a little stagnant when you first come across them but become more aggressive similar to Fallen Empires from Stellaris. 

Also I hope that eye of terror idea becomes a thing.  The idea of a large, super scary, genocidal crusade coming out and potentially wrecking everything would be awesome.

Already in.

If -- upon exploring a jump point -- Aurora generates a "big" enough NPR to have multiple systems, it 'breaks' that jump point link and generates a new, stop-gap system and puts the original NPR-bearing system on the other side of one of the new system's jump points.  Aurora will do this two or three times if necessary.

I would like to have an "Reasearch Started" event for queued Projects so i could see wich of my researches truly completed their work without looking it up in the Research Screen

They are built into the individual buttons. I'll look at this at some point, but not priority at the moment.

Powered Infantry Armour is available automatically at Conventional Start.

Personally, I think that it should be gated behind Trans-Newtonian Tech or at least it should need to be researched.

I'd love if the "Hull Types" list on the Ship Design Screen would allow me to hide some (or all) of the hull types so I could populate the list I see with only the ones I'm going to use in my game (I know the NPRs use the list too, that's fine, I primarily want to make it easier to find the six-to-ten entries my empire will use).

- - - - -

Failing that, can the list be ordered alphabetically by abbreviation, so it becomes a lot easier to notice that we're simultaneously using CS for Colony Ship, Survey Cruiser, and Strike Cruiser?

Agree and fixed.

When you want quit the game, a window pop up and asking "do you want to save the game"

We're only able to add ranks to Naval Officers, not Ground Forces. If we use huge formations this could be an issue and I want to RP company level and up. Also renaming ranks while in the window would be a nice feature too.

Click rank, click rename.

Click name, click rename.

The same button does both, just depending on what you've selected before.
