Imagine if one played this game and kept track of outdated tools or actions that take too much time or could lead to costly mistakes (e.g., any phase of a game mode that appears on a cadence and can't be replayed), and imagine if that person worked at Capital Games. If a Quality of Life Update addressed these three features below (and even just considered the other multiple great suggestions above) from a "CG employee who plays this game lens," I'd feel valued, and my life in this game, dare I say, might have quality improvement:
1. Fleet Management
2. Mod Management
3. Stop Autofilling ANYTHING
1. The game is bigger; the tool exists to manage squads; fleet features have been deprioritized (where do I view my fleet energy?), so let's make this right; it's time. I agree with the statement above that it feels like a bug at this point. Or a true focus on profits over care for any QoL update for players.
2. I'm not asking for more mod spaces. I am that player where every extra mod ends up in my inbox (but seriously, who are replayable mythic events even targeting with the mod rewards that show up?), and that's on me. But I can't muster the energy to try to do any better (again, on me) when the system is so outdated and doesn't reflect how players use (speed, mostly, but not always), upgrade (why 15 levels at this time?), assign (loadouts for just one set? why not a restore-all save point, limit one use?), and search (just...I mean...just...sigh) for mods; play the game competitively, and you'll see what mods feel like. And in the name of all that's holy or profane, let me sell from any place I can view a mod, including my inbox.
3. I'm not sure why this feature exists. If it's designed to save time, it's too general of a feature that autofills in the wrong places. It often orders by the highest GP at first (which ignores faction benefits in the name of power without benefit) and maintains the last squad you used on other game modes. Give me a check box to use the last squad on this exact game mode or get rid of autofill. My undersized squad feats will thank you every time after the first warning that I am using an undersized squad; stop sneaking in, Vader.
Finally, to the point above (which I now can't find) with the CG statement about reducing the amount of time playing trivial and repeatale game modes: please do not backtrack on this belief. Right now it feels like this philosophy has been discarded (Galactic Legend ticket collection and use, 10 bronzium free plays with a 10-minute timer); you'll still make profitable margins if you reduce the time spent on specific updates, I promise. If you have changed your philosophy to "more time in every mode increases profits," please let the players know.
