There's a few things quality of life improvements that I'd love to see included in C3X if at all possible.
The biggest one would be a stack re-base button (for bombers, jet fighters, etc.). My hand gets very tired of pressing Shift + R so many times.
Another one that's minor, but it really adds up, is the game continually forgetting the view grid setting upon reloading a game. It would be such a nice little QOL change to have it remember that I had it turned on last time I was playing.
Another hopefully simple change would be if a unit no longer had any moves left that turn, that it would be grayed out in the context menu (similar to how units inside armies are grayed out). This would make scanning the list of units in a stack to see who has any more remaining moves so much easier!
This one seems like it would be much harder to do, but I find myself constantly wishing for it. In the city improvements list, it would be amazing if you could start typing the letter (or first few letters) of the name of the improvement and have the scroll position jump down to that item (just like how this works for most lists in Windows). This feature alone would save SO much scrolling down / using the mouse wheel by the later stages of the game.
And finally, would it be possible to modify the game to finally allow your score to be added to the Hall of Fame screen when playing with modded rules (i.e. anything other than the default conquests.biq), and just place an asterisk next to the score? (and then maybe at the bottom of the screen just have a small line of text that says something like: [* games marked with an asterisk were played using customized rules]. After all, it's our game, and the hall of fame is just for us. I mean, I can already put scores in there by editing the HighScores.cv3, but I'd rather not have to because it's so annoying.
Thanks @Flintlock for all your hard work!!
