The "SM Part Refuel" button allows us to set the fuel level of a ship.
I often want to add or subtract a specific amount, so I have to find the current amount, do the mental math, remember the result, go back to the Misc tab, and use the button.

Suggestion: a new button "SM Add Fuel Amt" that allows us to skip the math part. Just add a given amount.
Respect max capacity of ship.
Allow negative input (but don't set current amount below zero, obviously).

This existing change for v2.6 will allow specific refuelling of fleets..

A contact update event will interrupt for a hostile contact, but not for a neutral or friendly contact.
I often have current contacts for a given NPR (whom I don't consider hostile) that are updating so often that setting the NPR to hostile would cause interrupts every single increment.
At the same time, I would like to closely watch some subset of those contacts, and be able to respond immediately if any of them change.

So, not really a solid suggestion here, just me expressing a wish that we had some way to specify individual contacts as interrupting if they change, regardless of the NPR relationship setting.

I just received a notification from an NPR that they no longer consider us hostile, and "we now have a neutral relationship."

If I set them to neutral, do they receive a similar notification?
Do they receive a notification when I set them to hostile?

Your setting is for your internal purposes. Right now they consider you neutral and will act on that basis. They won't know whether you consider them to be neutral or hostile until you open fire.
