In combat fleets with many ships, not all of those with damaged engines are automatically detached. It can be tedious to then manually detach all the ships that are slowing the entire formation to a crawl, in a list of hundreds. Would it be possible to add a "Detach Damaged" button? Or is there some mechanic already implemented that I'm missing?

I found it different and interesting. Sort of like the news blurbs in the Starship Troopers movie.

Year 7 in the noob galaxy

Someone found out how to remove gas from an atmosphere. You just choose which one and make sure the "add gas"-box is not checked.
The guy was awarded a contract for a bunch of terraform stations which were hauled to Venus to stay there for a very long time. The last manometer reading was 92.894 atm and falling.

It also turns out to be a bad idea to upgrade your Academy to Level 60. After relocating two levels to Luna I finally understood why nobody wanted to take charge of the bureaucratic monster I had created.

Further misadventures are sure to follow.

I have to be honest, I think the AI prose is unengaging and uninteresting.

Two suggestions for the Class Design window.
1. For each component type, could we have the possibility to order the components in different ways, e.g., from older to younger ones, or according to their capability?
The alphabetic order we have now can be confusing sometimes. E.g., for MFCs: I developed FC103-R20, FC103-R5, etc., up to FC164-R20 that are now listed before than FC17-R1, but they have much longer ranges than the last one, so I would like this last one be the first in the list.
Other examples are for missile launchers or for shields.
2. I don't remember which is the most capable between Advanced Damage Control vs. Improved Damage Control, and go to check them in the Research tab. Would it be possible to add the capability of the components in their description box (as already done for geo and grav sensors)?
Other modules could be terraforming one and orbital mining: the capability appears in the class description, when the module is added to the class.
