Microscopic UI, 30 secs to do improvement if you please ...

Intelligence Window
Known Class
Selected Class and Attributes
Hull Description

Instead of having only the acronym of the class name, add also the name in clear. So

Hull Description   >   >   >    >   >      JCS

would become

Hull Description   Jump Colony Ship   JCS

Sync fire isn't a simple on/off as you can have some ships synced and some not. However, ships have (SF) next to them when Sync Fire is on.

I've moved Delete to the last button.

Thanks Steve

Naval Organisattion Tab - The Delete button is next to the Detach button could the two buttons be separated. I have actually managed to accidently delete a ship instead of detaching it  ::)

Naval Organisation Tab - Combat screen - Could the Sync Fire on/off buttons be coloured when activated. I find it difficult to tell if they are on or off.

Another option is to use AuroraMod's custom date/datetime format feature.

I noticed that under Research, the completion date is usually unreadable due to the excessive length of the string/lack of space in field.  This ~may~ be due to my monitor resolution (1680x1050) or maybe not.   Also, not sure why I need to know the day of the week my research will complete. 
Suggested solutions - 1) make the display for the dates expandable by users. 
2) Increase the space for the field so the longest string fits. 
3) Better, use a numerical format (1/1/2030 rather than January 1, 2030, or however it's currently displayed).  And, if the day of the week is important for some reason I am unaware of, it could be shortened to M, T, W, Th, F, S, Su. 
Ex: "W 1/1/2030".

As per the Known Issues post.

Date formats. Some users see the day of the week in displayed dates, which means there is not enough room. This can be fixed in by changing Windows date to shorter format in settings.

For the Sync fire is a very good suggestion
