I know I would be all in favour of adding AntiHaze's massive spreadsheet to the game client! LOL That sounds pretty ideal, having colour-coded trade routes highlighted, a calculator for distance for ship efficiency, etc. Very cool.

(Hoping something that at least adds better visual tracking of trade/harvest routes gets added at some point... all these planet numbers, sector numbers, galaxy numbers - all become a blur to me when I look at a list. And if the visual guide could show me who I'm trading with, where the trade is taking place, and the amount of incoming/outgoing that it's producing in real time -- well, that would be just fine by me, heh)
