Can we get Commander Health notifications separated into two different notifications?

1) Medical problems
2) Deaths

Medical problems that don't inspire retirement or cause death are not as critical as ones that do. I need to know when my officers have left my service, not so much when they're feeling poorly.

This! Even better would be to make retirements separate between "Was filling a role and retired" vs "Was on the roster but not currently assigned", because as stated above I only really care if it left a role open.

On a related note, would it be possible to have a monthly and an annual summary of vacant positions? That way you could suppress the monthly if you don't care to review it that often. And you could safely suppress all of the medical and death messages, since you would find out fairly soon (within a month or a year) that the position was open, or sooner if they were actively researching something, since you'd get an Open Labs message.

Honestly, the biggest improvement I'd like to see with standing orders is a way to create templates for them like you do for normal orders. Would make setting up your exploration ships much easier.

If you have multiple NPR's on earth on start, they often bankrupt themselves by endlessly building combat ships, construction factories and mines. I've had about 3 starts and this happened each time.

And since they build more warships than their maintenance facilities can support, they are stuck on earth and wont go out to explore & expand.

is there anything I could do to unstuck the A.I from their suicidal development plan?

Defending anything with anything really armoured is a waste of resources from a pure math perspective.

I'm very curious how this is true from a pure math perspective. I do agree that armor is modestly less than optimal, but not on mathematical grounds as far as I know.

Cost of armored units scales linearly with armor, but the effectiveness of that armor scales quadratically until overmatch occurs. This works out on a theoretical basis to a perfect balance, because the effectiveness of numerical advantage is also quadratic, but the number of units one can field scales inversely with the cost - armor efficiency goes up as cost^2, numerical efficiency drops as 1/cost^2, and it all cancels out. The disadvantage of armor occurs on a practical basis due to overmatch mechanics (both for armored and unarmored units), but at this point you get into decision-based effects which cannot really be modeled - if the enemy fields more LAV/MAV, infantry are preferable, but too much infantry and the enemy is free to field CAP spam which is countered by armor. The true optimum is not mathematically trivial.

I will readily concede that none of this is relevant against NPRs, but against NPRs a wet mop is as good as a battle tank.

Currently you can turn on/off display of planets, asteroids, moons, etc as well as their names and orbits on the tactical screen, but not comets/comet names for some reason. I would like to be able to declutter the display of Sol, which has a ton of comets.

Yes please.

"Minerals can be delivered to the DSP and collected from it, as it assumed these are stored as free-floating resources. They will be displayed as per a normal population."
I was re-reading this. Why can't MSP be stored free-floatingly like the minerals anyway?

I saw someone on the Discord mention that there's no easy way that can be automated to unload MSP to a DSP. Maybe there should be an MSP Hub component that works like the refueling hub, letting ships unload MSP to and resuply from?
