Hi there, it took me while to have the time to read your post ;)
Some of your points make me believe, that you'll love the next update. The AI will be much more useful.
Torpedoes will stay the way they are, though. They are really strong weapons and therefore have to be limited.
I like quite a few of you suggestions and will run them past our devs, if they're doable in a reasonable time frame we'll be sure to implement them :)
