There are several things that bother me slightly in 'interface shortcoming' of AI War (which is an excellent game), but two stand out:
1 - I would like to know what is in my transports. For example list in the tooltip the 3 most numerous ships, like Fighter II (72), Bombard (12), Bomber (30), Others (54).
2 - I really need to know sometime when the 'gun is loaded'. Spire penetrator with a 30 mn count down between each fire stand out quite a bit for that, but even bombards and their 30 seconds delay would benefit from this.
And there are more, like a patrol order per planet (no, the cross planet rally post can't do that by far), limited range FRD, 'escort' order etc.
