Hoping it would be possible to implement a firing range restriction for the ai. ie restrict the ai to firing ph3/Gs at a maximum range of 2 ( to prevent the ai wasting its point defence phasers v ships at range 14, so that it can defend itself better v drones), and also extending this range restriction to other direct-fire weapons (fusions getting fire at ridiculous ranges too), to make their fire more effective. I believe implementing this would improve the ai immensely, and seems a fairly simple thing to code in.

These sound like terrific suggestions. Maybe range 10 for standard fusions. Another thing I would like is, if it's not too hard. Make all the ship displays universal for the vessel libraries? They work fine in the different races UI's, just not in the libraries. That would be nice for modding

I think this patch will address bugs and not much more will be done so don't get your hopes up.
