Things I would add to the list:
Large designs unable to calculate volume (https://www.hazeron.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=2659)
* I hope it is self evident why for this one
Building Blueprint multiple intended purposes (https://www.hazeron.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=2714)
* With this we can start to declutter a lot of the exchange
Change Module for station without having to replace it (https://www.hazeron.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=2639)
* The Null modules and choosing modules at manufacture would help alleviate this, but I feel like this could be a 'quick fix' that Haxus might be able to do in the mean time and overall is still worth having for when using existing stations/ blueprints to base a new design off of.
Add Starmap XML export back (no dedicated thread for this, but it's been posted about across many)
* The search tool, even if it wasn't constantly freezing the game or taking forever to load a few hundred systems, it just fairly inadequate at it's job especially compared to the dedicated tools others have made. The original reason for adding this in game tool was because Haxus thought it was 'unfair' that some people knew about the 3rd party options and that it gave some kind of advantage. I don't see why we can't have both. To get the in game tool to a level of parity that 3rd party tools wouldn't be leagues better would take even more dev time that Haxus could instead spend on adding new mechanics, fixing existing gameplay mechanics, or critical bugs. The only tweak from how XML worked before is just being able to control how much is exported, so that once players get comically large starmaps it doesn't crash trying to export many thousands like it sometimes did before. I think using the requery tool and only exporting what exists would take care of that, so you can select a sector, clear starmap and only requery the surrounding 3 sectors, and then only that data would be exported when you hit export.
