[QoL - Equipment Factory]

I have found specific Equipment to be one of the most difficult things to get in the game, being that it is 100% random (either collected or Researched).  In fact I spend over 17h just trying to get enough equipment to make 3 Legendary, just to waste them to make 1 nearly useless XSTN, just to get through the Barrier. I propose an Equipment FACTORY, just like the turret factories, but makes blueprints for Equipment.  So I can get a specific piece of Equipment & just mass produce it for my fleets (or Research).

[Stop main guns from attacking fighters]

& also stop showing the 'target torpedo <R>' every time a pirate fires a torpedo, I don't want to target torpedoes, we have turrets specifically for that now, I want to target the next closest ENEMY. Or at least change it to a different key binding.

[Game should check that a mission is placed in an accessible area]

Twice I have had to restart a game in single player because the start sector for The Haathi quest was on the other side of the barrier.

[Map Interaction - Increase Note Icons Choices (+Modding)]

Even if the current Icons remain but you are allowed to choose their colour, this would expand usage greatly.
