Right click filter in ship design.

First, I have to say I like SEV even if it needs to be fixed.

I think the planets and atmosphere types will not be limited by whats in the game, and will only be limited by what the modders can dream of. Imagine all metal planets, waterworlds, or maybe planet made of plastics.

I found a way to design ships easier.
If you right click the title bar just above the list of components to the left in design view, you can filter the components you need. It is easier than scrolling the long list of components or using the filter botton to the right.

I like the idea of inner and outer hull components.
I divide my engines and weapons between inner and outer hull, I then put many of the less important components in the outer hull, this way my ship can still fight even at heavy damage.

2 things that also need fixing but maybe not a priority.

First, the text, they overlap, I cannot read the weapons report. Maybe too big.

Second, the whole star system disappears as if cloaked. It happens when I alt-tab to windows and return to the game, which cause the right corner command buttons to disappear. I tried to load a save game hoping they would reappear. They did, but everything else disappear. All the ships, flags, planets, and the star disappear. You can still click them if you can find the right hex, but you can't see them. I tried to exit the game to the main menu and load from there. It did not work. I did not try a new game, I just quit and restart.
