just a quick list of small things I'm coming across in Aurora that'd be good to 'fix' in Pulsar4x
(mostly so I don't forget if/when I actually start helping out)

Missing orders:
shore leave
overhaul should not disappear from the orders list till overhaul is complete.
rearm *from* colliers (you can tell a collier to reload a TF, but not a TF to reload from another TF with colliers).

inserting orders, removing orders etc from anywhere in the list (instead of having to recreate a whole orders list just because the first order can't complete)
conditional orders should insert themselves at the top of the orders list, instead of replacing all the orders (less micro manage survey ships)

auto add new research labs to a prioritised team.

better lifepod/survivor handling. currently if you order a TF to collect survivors, sometimes your smallest ship will pick them up, and have life support issues. then there seems to be no way to transfer them to another ship. in such cases the ship that has the best life support in the TF should collect them, and possibly they should be shared around the ships.
