I would be in favor of "Enter --> Confirm" behavior, especially on the save game dialog.

Yes! I forgot that I wanted it there too. That is the most important place for it IMO.

I don't care, I just want Local System Settings to override Global Settings, so I can set a global of say 2 Engineers/System, but change a specific system to only 1 Engineer.  Currently they add together, so you can never have fewer than your Global Settings.

Do you have a Mantis for this? Because I would happily vote it up.

I'm also for something like the OP asks, just as someone whose Windows mouse sensitivity setting is 4.5.

Personally, I like them adding together, so I'd at least like an option to keep that. But making it the other way is fine. As if the per-planet override the global, I could emulate the adding behaviour. As it currently is, because you cannot select negative numbers for these, you cannot emulate the overriding with the current adding system.
