I don't agree that this would be an improvement. That itty bitty type is hard enough to read as white on black; a number of the race colors are nearly illegible as fleet counts.

8. Have some way to save and load ship designs, according to what components you have researched. I always have basicly the same designs when I play the same races again, so this would save me from having to create the same ship designs over and over again. (Is this already possible?)
Yes, but it's a pain to manage currently. (F2) Options/Save Empire will save all your current ship designs and strategies; you can then use the same empire with the Add Existing button on Game Set-Up/Players. The problem is that the Design Window will list all the designs, with a dim "insufficent technology" label only in the details box. There needs to be a "Hide Insuff. Tech" button added, similar to Hide Obsolete.

9. Have some way to manually switch the CD music track (that one dissonant chord song gets annoying during long turns, but I don't want to turn the music off altogether) or maybe even replace them with my own mp3s.
There's a set of entries near the bottom of Settings.txt where you can reprogram the music tracks. You could experiment to figure out which entry to cut to get rid of the dissonant chord, or just rewrite it to match your custom set on another CD.

10. Have a fleet formation editor screen, where you can just drag and drop ships already in a fleet. The text file method is a little cryptic for me, and it doesn't allow you to position exact ships exactly how you want. I'm not sure how you could save formations and share them with this though.
ISTR that someone did a Formation Editor, but it's not something you can use on the fly in mid-game.

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
