- a slider bar for OW ship repair with the default set to minimum quantity required to bring repairs to 100%. Reduce slider for partial repairs. Save having to do multiple repair sequences; its slow with the network lag. - Vertical orientation for ship damage plans in combat screen. this will give a more intuitive perspective of your own ship (helpful I think, even though the enemy may not be oriented per plan). so, maybe a rotating view of the enemy ship damage plan that corresponds with the relative direction - i.e. enemy ship plan rotates. - quick shot damage assessment in text (where 'crew shock' text comes up) in battle screen showing net effect of shot on enemy. this would be realistic as ships had spotters assessing damage.

There was a great explanation and flow chart for boarding effectiveness in another thread. For quick reference I transposed this information into tabular form. Easier for my brain to follow. Hope it's useful to others. I've checked it but let me know if there are any errors found. I have a more polished pdf version if anyone would like it.
