During the allocution phase it would be nice if with on click you could choose between 2-4 present configuration. Such as max shield, max speed, or a preferred personal setting. I have notice most players spend 30-45 seconds on the first allocation phases. Having a present might speed the pace of the game.
Even if we couldn't have multiple presets, even having one default that is in place when you first enter a sector instead of doing the same thing from zero every time would be a step forward. By the same token, there are a number of UI improvements that could be made especially in shield allocation. Have a button to take all to max or to drop all or to add or subtract one from all etc.
the counter fire, or counter fire marine click, might be bigger, one at the top and bottom of the same side,
