1. Lists that remember their position.

Some of them (such as the Log) do now. It would be nice if they all did though.

2. When you build for example a starbase with a buildship and it's attacked like 0.2 years before completion of the base, the base should already be there but have damaged components. Now you don't get anything which is quite ridicilous.

This was in SE3. All ships were built immediately, with all components "damaged". Well, "under construction", but it amounted to the same thing, except that a ship with all comps "under construction" was not destroyed. Then, the ships were "repaired" in the construction queue until they were finished. In fact, damaged ships were "repaired" in the construction queue too. This had advantages and disadvantages (you pay maintenance on all unbuilt ships, for example), and MM decided to try something different in SE4. Hopefully some sort of hybrid of SE4 and SE3 construction can be created for SE5.

3. Upgrade of ships would be cool. Now if you have a new design, your queues are not update.

You could do this in the original release of SE4, but it lead to easy exploits. Don't have those technologies yet? No problem! Start building ship designs now, and then edit the designs to have the new techs when you have them. As long as you had not finished any ships of a design, you could edit the design still, and change it however you want. This was not a good thing, and was eliminated in one of the first patches.

i would like an engine component dedicated to the use of wormholes. that way we can design system ships and design seperate ships for traveling the wormholes.

At least part of the coding for that is already in there. There is a toggle in the Map Editor that can theoretically give "Requires Comp X" ability to a Warp Point (as there are no wormholes in SE4), although it does not do anything at present.
