Hello, i’m a new space commander recently hired for training (only have the demo right now), and i hope to be a full commander in the GSB fleet early august. Very fun game, and i absolutely love it! i can easily drop a half hour making ships and deploying a fleet for battle, which isn’t good when i want to work on my own game >.< 
If you don’t mind, there are a few UI things that would be nice to see (if they haven’t been implemented since the demo v1.25):
For setting up orders, i’d really like the ability to multi-select orders to add to ships.
I’d like the ability to shift-select and deselect ships in deployment; it’s kind of a pain to use drag-select when i’ve deployed my fleets into formation.
