In the options menu (from the galaxy screen) it'd be nice to have a configurable HUD. Ie, I dont personally use the "status" button all that much, and I'd like to replace it with something like "Factions" or "Ship". Perhaps allow the user to specify how many button are displayed at the bottom (6, 8, 16, etc) and where they lead when clicked.
Another gui change that could be made would be to add little buttons for each Faction screen. Instead of having to scroll through rumors, conflicts, faction, etc, have one little symbol for each in the uppermost bar.
Also, itd be awesome to have two buttons in the buy screen for each item - one to buy max, one to sell max. At this point all im doing is buying max W-F, and it takes two clicks and a drag to do so...itd be sweet to have a single button-press handle it.

Maybe long press on the buy/sell could auto select max ...

Perhaps short press on a button will sell/buy all, and long press changes the button into a slider that you can then drag?  |

Or just add another button for buy all and sell all. I feel like the status button and the contract button are redundant. I'd much rather see a conflict button on the main screen, I end up checking out that page like it was in a bikini on spring break.

I'd dig a 'fill tank' button on the water page. With a big hold, getting the slider right to 25 can be annoying.
Now I have to go do a search for 'space bikini.' There goes my morning.

There is nothing worse than trying to get exactly 25 units of W-F when your hold or your cache is large. You get 24, then 27, then 23, then 27, then 24 again ... aaargh.
It would be GREAT if you could even enter in specific values for exchanges/caches

Nothing worse?
How about a bait and switch 'surplus' rumor where you fly halfway across the quadrant for cheap artifacts and there's only 6 tons of them available. The yokel at the exchange is like "But, that's a lot for us. Do you like overpriced plants?" and you can't even kill him because he doesn't have a ship.

Yeah, I've come across that merchant a number of times. I SO wish we could do planetary assaults. Sorry your honor, I didn't really mean to start a galactic war when I launched those nukes at the exchange on BackwaterHell 142. I just wasted 17 units of W-F, tore 8 solar sails, and lost 11 crew hoofing it across to this sector, only to find that the surplus equated to 5 units of electronics.
