Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all of you at Stardock! I wish you all good tidings and a very prosperous New Year coming up! I recently uninstalled GCIII and deleted all of my folders. Why?

Because I had so many of my own designs and custom factions that I wanted to start fresh. I must have had no less than 25 versions of Constructors and colony ships. All with various movement rates and ship ranges or extra modules. With that said...

I have since done a good clean install and added only Gauntlets Race Mod. Man is this mod sweet! Thanks to Derek for featuring it on Paul's last stream. I am sold!

I play fairly regularly but for short stints unless its a weekend (where I will put in 6-10 hour runs). I have what I think is an average gamers system {I5 3570K, Oc'd to 4.1, 16 gigs of DDR3, Gforce GTX 970, Samsung 850 SSD for games and windows, Win 10}. I play on an Asus 27" 1080p monitor and the game looks awesome. I am waiting for Frogboy to direct us gamers to 4K monitors with the new 1.3 display port but that is another thread. 

A few thoughts on GCIII, really just Quality of life requests. I have posted such before. 

The new DLC is SUPER awesome. Thank you. As has been said it is way too overpowered and needs a bit of retooling both in power and frequency of anomalies and precursor planets. I also really loved the Snathi, thank you Paul it was well worth the wait!

Onto some things....

• Need a 'Clear all' on the notifications tab. I am left having to clear each one, one at a time and there is a pause/lag when I do. 
• Need to be able to alphabetize or organize by size our ships in the ship build list and Shipyards. 
• I want to shift+click select multiple designs of ships in either my build , shipyard or my design screens and {permanently} remove them from game. Only the user ones of course not ones that are base designs to the game. 
• I'd like more reasons to manage my Empire via the Govern Screens. The planets window needs a few more sorting options and those preferences need to 'stick'. When I click on a planet after sorting it by name and it takes me back to the govern planets screen it reverts back and does not stay 'sorted'.
• I'd like an icon or such above my star bases which denote what they do in the Strategic/pulled out screen that is easily identified. Mining, Influence or Military. 
• Can we get the little pop ups for hovering over a known starbases which tells me what it is mining or what it does <and> if its mine a rundown on how many modules it does or does not have?
