- 1) Right click on system or fleet (in galaxy map) brings up a "notepad window" that lets you attach a note (say max 255 character string) to the object and also assign a color to the "note icon" that sticks with it until you delete it. The motivation for this is that I often plan to do things with a system/planet or a fleet, but 10 turns later I find myself using it for something else, less appropriate, simply because I've forgotten my strategy (different research points reached, various attacks have occured etc etc.). I could take these notes on a piece of paper, but it would increase immersion if, like in AI wars, it could be done in-game.
2) A visual presentation (using more circles around systems) of defence strength/shield strenght! (circles of various colors and thickness and pi-fraction depending on target strength)? I can go into systems and read the numbers, but wouldn't it be nifty to have a visual representation directly on the galaxy map?
Suggestion: Notepad & circle graphics of system strength?

Just a couple of reflections that I thought could clarify and enhance gameplay:

Thanks Cpeosphoros, for adding ideas to github. I was not aware of the direct input system and apologize for my lack of know-how. Thank you all for your patience.
