Nebulas, AI and memory leak

[LoneWolfGK]

1. Please add an option to completely turn off nebulas. Nebulas frustrates me because the pathing of ships is stupid and frustrating. Outside nebulas the ships path correctly but inside nebulas, you can click a move option just a bit away and ship would path completely outside nebula and back in, meanwhile you already inside nebula. AI is extremely stupid with pathing. Until this is fixed i would like to turn of nebulas.

2. I would like an option to turn off nebulas ANYWAY. Give me option to play my way. This will not affect anyone because you choose this when you start a new game. AN OPTION.

3. I choose not to have any pirates or creatures and STILL i have pirates and creatures. WHY WHY WHY is there an option to turn it off if it does not work? WHY?

4. The AI is so stupid, starts off ok and then no challenge with empires.

5. Diplomacy is a joke, you have no options. AI declares war on you because your ships are in their territory BUT I DO NOT HAVE SAME OPTIONS TO TELL THEM TO REMOVE THEIR BASES OR SHIPS.
There are no options in diplomacy. NOTHING.
You can only start getting some options if you have relations of 10 or above, how do i do that if relations are -50 and even after giving gift, it drops lower before i have option to give a gift again. For example, relation is -50, i give highest gift, bring it down to maybe -20, then i cannot give gift again before certain date, about 3 years game time, by the time i can give gift, the relation is like -60, so i can not get it better and will NEVER be able to get more options in diplomacy.
Seriously, no options when relations bad, not even telling them to remove ships from my territory, or bases etc.??? I cannot warn them, threaten them. NOTHING.
Diplomacy means nothing.

5b. Best of all is, no warning from other empire about my ships or bases in their territory, they just declare war, not warning, no time to remove, they just declare war.
Would be nice to highlight bases or ships if in enemy territory, then at least you know they are there. Nope no warnings.

5c. Here is the kicker, i cannot even control it, the ships like passenger, mining etc just go into enemy territory or empire territory and i can do nothing about it, then empire crap in their pants and declare war. So how do i prevent that if i have no control on this.
There should be option to either tell ships no to go there in other empire territory, by an empire option etc, or civilian ships should just not go there.
Only way should be if i tell them manually to go in there, like fleet, war ships etc.
Also what about explorers, they will just go into territory and then empire will crap in their pants again and declare war. There should be a way to say, STAY OUT OF EMPIRE TERRITORY.

6. Fix your memory leaks, game has major memory leaks. Builds up and up until game stutters because it ate up 16GB of ram and only way to fix this is too REMEMBER to exit game every 30min to clear memory. Then go back in and then it builds up and up and up. Rinse and repeat.

7. Colony ships cannot be put in fleet. WHY NOT??? Why can i not use colony ships in fleet to move people around. Why should i be forced to do it one by one. This is really stupid.

8. Maybe there is a way and i just do not know it. Why if i press upgrade in ship design, do you keep on changing my design and put in your own stuff. KEEP MY DESIGN AS IT IS, JUST OPEN IT UP SO THAT I CAN CHANGE WHAT I WANT TO CHANGE. Do not change my stuff to latest, why? because your program stuffs up my design. I cannot edit if its already used, so i have only upgrade option, leave my design as it is, I WILL CHANGE WHAT I WANT TO CHANGE.
If not mistaken, this is how it worked when game launched.

9. Ship design also not great, for example, concussion missile is my latest missile, other stuff researched further than missiles but missiles latest is concussion. So if i keep design on only showing latest, it hides my concussion missiles. So every time i design ship, i have to put it on show all, so frustrating and time waster. Why would it hide concussion missile if that is latest researched missile. Does it with other tech as well. IT IS FRUSTRATING.

10. Also in ship design, i cannot even see the whole design name on the left, the component list to shallow, thin, small, so you cannot see complete name of design.
Also ship designer is not great, there must be better way to fit everything in, so much over lapping and then you cannot see other thing.

11. No proper tool tips or explanation of most stuff in game, ESPECIALLY on components on research and is ship design. It is frustrating. Lots of times confused on usage, items and explanations. Tool tips either not helping or NON EXISTING.

12. Cannot tell stations who to attack, so stations so stupid in defense, they attack one enemy and instead of finishing that enemy that is already damaged, it switches to another enemy that is fresh and undamaged. WHY WHY WHY???
Give me option to tell station who to attack like i can do with ships.

13. Also on stations, some stations i can control fighters and bombers on station, like recalling etc, but other stations like mining or resorts etc..... I CANNOT. WHY WHY WHY???

14. Not sure if this was intended or not, but AI can attack you without declaring war, they just decide to attack and send fleet and attack you over and over and over again without declaring war. If this was intended, no issues, i like it, thats sneaky, just wanted to mention it here.

15. Explorers not doing anything, says NO MISSION, yet there are still loads of UNEXPLORED areas, not halfway explored, not explored at all. Nothing to do with tech or fuel range. Its close and tech is far researched. This is new area, unexplored, never been there and yet they do not go there to explore.
Lots of UNEXPLORED on asteroids, never been explored and explorers DO NOTHING, just SIT THERE. If i tell it manually to explore it, then it does that, it works, but the explorer does NOT do it when on automatic.
So now i have to do it manually for each rock / asteroid, hundreds and hundreds of asteroids, this is FRUSTRATING.

16. Why is there not an option to call a fuel tanker? WHY WHY WHY. The fuel tanker AI so stupid as well. Also ships do not call fuel tanker most of the time, even if i have 50 and they all doing nothing, ships get stuck with no fuel and then try to get to planet with fuel, instead of calling for fuel tanker. This mechanic is so stupid and not working.
So there should be an option to call fuel tanker if ship does not call it automatically. To basically force it to call a fuel tanker.

AND THERE ARE LOADS MORE ISSUES, BUGS and PROBLEMS.
