Hi Allan, Some of your suggestions are actually in the works. For example the 0 light years thing. I am going to be updating it with something more realistic like 30000 kilometers, 60000 kilometers, etc. That way you can actually judge distance between objects. As for your suggestion of klingon 1,klingon 2, etc can easily be accomidated. It could have that in the game in a day. The long range autopilot to enemies can also be acomidated. It might take slightly longer to do, but is possable. Anyway, allot of your suggestions. Some I can do right away when I release the patch for the beta, and others will have to be docked for some distant future.
