category
I think it would be easiest if you break down components into category's you mentioned and place them on a typical blueprint design (grid?) via drag and drop.
The components have a category naming but should also be in a true category and not all in the same list.
why not make "tab's" like [Armor],[Projectile Weapons],[Beam Weapons],[Defence],[Support],etc.... where you find the desired components in their logical category. You would switch between the tab's and only see what you want to see/searching for.
Imagine if the game get's that much expanded that in ever category would be atleast 100 components with a total sum of over 1000 components and you'd have to search for a specific weapon in a long list..that would cost you some time. The system i described is a system that lays a good foundation for future expanding while mantaining a good view. Would be also easier for new players because it was a bit irritating to see sortcuts like "WPN"etc. and there are more than 1 such shortcuts for weapons.
Sounds almost like EVE...[8D]

I can't check myself as this is a new computer and doesn't have the ''Poll already completed'' cookie
Or maybe I ate the cookie???

Here's an update, cookie monster.
There've been alot of new votes since the latest patch to the vanilla game. Not too much has changed though.
Diplomacy has moved down. Tech has moved up. Ship boarding has dropped quite a few places. Better troops has moved up quite a bit. It's all still the same at the bottom of the table.

I just looked at the last poll here :-
fb.asp?m=2768781
In the last poll 213 people voted, so just a few more votes needed here. There have been some recent buyers afterall.

Indeed, it's partly why I've been waiting for more votes to come in.
They've been coming in much quicker the last few days, I'm glad to report.[:)]

Sorry I don't know what you mean?
I'll explain further.
When you have completed the survey, there is a ''cookie'' saved on your computer to prevent you from voting again and so you can refer to the updated results.
I completed the survey on my laptop, therefore I have no cookie on this new desktop computer.
So I thought I'd vote again.
I voted for space creatures, bigger map, Thai Brides, beer bootlegging, mafia and of course cookie factories! [:D][;)]

Being a bit of a graphics whore, I'd like to see it go semi 3D a bit like GC2.

Why are we all writing, 'indeed' all of a sudden?[:D]
Well, indeed, that's great to hear, Erik.

Only item I didn't see in the list that I kinda want to see was linking materials supply/demand to the galaxy map -- see what regions are short in what items so I can proactively attack shortages without building a mine on every planet.

Well, there was another poll going on but you'd not find it there anyway. The poll tries to concentrate on broad categories that include particular requests like this.
Btw, this idea of yours is great.

Yes that is a good point. I wonder if I should have put 'Improved resource mechanics' instead of 'Improved fuel mechanics'. This would have fallen under that category.
I'm not sure if I'll do a future poll like this one, but if I do, I'll read through this one and pick up any suggestions like that. Who knows by that time we might already have alot of these new ideas in the game.[;)]
