This is a deliberate choice of 'Aurora doesn't work like that anymore,' not a missing feature.  It's not coming back.

Where do you see that? I haven't been able to find anything in the changelog to suggest that it won't eventually be possible.

Iirc it was not in the changelog thread but Steve said it in some of the other threads. Maybe bug reports?
I'll try to find it. Couldn't find it, but will keep my eyes open for it.

SM Ordinance:
Go to ship screen and select the individual ship you want to load ordinance in SM. Click the Ordinance template tab and select SM:Fill Ship (Centre right). It will fill the ship with the template of it's class.

That I know, but in VB6 you could fill your stockpile too...

The ability to destroy launched missiles. Useful for removing sensor buoys or a minefield.
Seconded!

Those old sensor buoys are starting to really clutter up some systems and it would be nice if there was a way to somehow remove/destroy them.  :)

The single pixel dividers for lists, the VB6 had, as well as for enclosing portions of windows that were relevant to something in particular.

The loss of readability is just awful, especially compared to VB6 aurora's interface, which looked great. Been unable to play a single campaign since C# came out because reading long lists became such a strain :(
