--- Yes. 4 boat bays is more crew. 4x the crew requirement actually.

Huh?

4 boat bays = 4 x 3 = 12 crew
1 hangar deck = 12 crew

--- There is 20 crew set aside for the parasites crew.

1 Hangar Deck = 32 Crew
4 Boat Bays = 80 Crew for the Parasites alone.

EDIT: Nevermind! Boat Bays used to be 20 crew per bay. Now they're 5!

Suggestion: Improve Hangar Decks relative to Boat Bays to justify the 4k RP cost.

The research requires 4000 RP.
The Hangar Deck component has 4x the capacity of the Boat Bay, and has 4x the size, 4x the cost, 4x the crew, and 4x the HTK.
In other words, a Hangar Deck is almost entirely equivalent to 4 Boat Bays.

The only difference is using 4 components at 1 HTK each vs 1 component at 4 HTK.
I guess the latter could provide a terribly slight, terribly situational advantage.
But it hardly seems worth the effort to research.

Simple idea: reduce Hangar Deck crew requirement from 12 to 9.

And/or have Boat Bays and Hanger Decks all in the same tech, like what is done for Troop Transport Tech (including Boarding and Drop Techs)

Suggestion: Make it possible to override the interrupt for "Orders Completed" on a per-fleet basis.
Bonus: give the option to override permanently for this fleet, or just for the fleet's current order list.

Vague design thoughts:

On the Movement Orders tab, three radio buttons directly beneath the order list pane:
Stop Automated Turns on Completion (default)
No Stop (one-time)
No Stop (persistent)

In code, at fleet order list completion event, get selected radio value.
For the No Stop options, treat the event type as a non-interrupt.
For the one-time option, also reset the button value to default.

Split fleets should not preserve the setting (I think).

Bonus wrinkle:
Add the button setting to the Order Template object.

It's the 84th year of the Imperium, and I just thought I'd celebrate the Exploration Ship EX-01 Great White.  Constructed in August of 2033, the Great White has somehow managed to survive over 50 years.

In that time, it has travelled 1,515 billion km, discovered 132 bodies with minerals, 23 jump points, 1 ruin, and 15 star systems.

That crew must have the luck of the Irish going on, because my explorer hull numbers go EX-1, EX-5, EX-8, EX-10, EX-11, EX-15, then EX-17 through EX-19.
