I play now Endless Space 2 and because of the Amazon Prime Definitive Edition does not support mods and edited the Core XML files and all changes beside technoligies changes take affect also in savegames.

There's a text file in the data folder with the other xmls, I think it's called descriptions or something. You can search for the name of traits there, and usually they are accompanied by a description. But not always. And some of them are scattered all over the place.
You refer to the GameText ...

Character traits are almost completely obfuscated and I don't really understand why.
Maybe it was just a oversight at release but I think it would be great if they could be externalised to XML so we could
A: understand what each trait does
B: Mod them
C: Create our own generic and unique character ...

So are you saying the issue is caused by hanger bays for fighters and not enough docking bays?

Absolutely! Also by taking over too many worlds in short period of time, this why there is literally a thousand freighters in the building queue that can be seen around the planet as raw structures ...

3- I sometimes get confused on the research screen, it's difficult to follow the pre-requisites for some technologies.

how so ? after just a few games its almost a no brainer which ones first then second then situational then just for the sake of it....by then games are usually won (or lost) and ...

The one thing coming to my mind watching this picture is Docking Bay Count on the Starport and Docking Bay Throughput .
Redesign the Starport, take some things away and put in max ...

The distance between the 2 stars is so little that they are overlapping somehow into each other and one gets blocked out when zooming in and is unaccessible to interact with.

It is a random event designed to add variety and emergent narrative to the game. It works as intended and actually adds value to the game for players who want that sort of flavor. It is also totally optional - you can disable such events at game creation without having to use the editor at all if ...

OK, I had a crazy idea, but it would take a LOOONG time to implement and require rolling back to an older save to test...so before I invest all that effort, I'd like to know if anyone else has tried it.

this honestly doesnt ...

Yes I know that and have started a new game several times but it makes no difference: mining ships remain stubbornly independent. If making that change to one xml file is all that is needed then I must have made a mistake somewhere else, somehow.

Its a simple edit.
