HI, I have a couple of ideas that are quality of life improvements - they don't add a new feature or huge ammount of work. Rather, they essentially extend functionality that is already in the game.



HAVE A "CLEAR ALL MODULES" BUTTON ON THE EDIT SHIP


Several times throughout the game, especially when I research a new ship or get a higher tie resource, I like to edit my ships's modules from a clean slate.

Sadly, there isn't a "clear all modules" button, so I have to either remove all the modules to get a clear picture or add new modules on top of the olds ones, which can be a visually confusing when dealing with upgraded, non-strategic resource fueled modules.



UNDERLINE LUXURY RESOURCES THAT ARE BEING PRODUCED


A nice thing about strategic resouces is that they are always displayed and, when being produced, show a underline to denote that. It's good, glanceable information.


But luxury resources don't show this behavior. So you always have to hover over them to know if they are being generated. This a mildly annoying when doing things in the economic screen* like selling/buying and choosing a luxury for the system level improvements. Showing a underline would make it a little easier to make you decisions/save time.


* Strategic resources also do not display an underline in the economic screen when being generated, but they are always visible and underlined from the fixed top-left panel. So more consistency between the panel and the economic screen would also be nice.





I hope I get support for these ideas and I thank the dev team for listening!

I wish I had an option for my luxuries to be visible in the same way as my strategics.


As for Clear all modules, I don't have an issue with clearing manually (however your proposal would make my life a bit more comfortable), but what I would really love is retrofitting my ships to any preset within the hull type - not just the next generation of the same preset.
