So after playing the newest version of the game for a bit I do enjoy the changes to the R&D - things appear to be moving faster and smoother without getting bogged down on rocket research.

Having a limit of concurrent programs also made things a bit more manageable - no longer am I lost amid my museum of space technology I don't use, instead letting me focus on the current programmes.

I would like to request, however, that space programmes that have been fully used (as in, everything they unlock has been unlocked), would be indicated in some other way after they are closed than programmes that have not yet been started - maybe a different colour, or some extra ribbon or even a subheading of "Success" or "Completed". This would give a clear indication of progress.

Also, I think it would be nice if the last mission of a series in say, space planes would be worth a bit more than the rest. As far as I remember all 3 of those flights are worth 220 each. An extra incentive towards the end would feel nice .

It would also be nice to have a bit more information about what is required for programmes that can't be open yet - for example stating clearly that the capsule flights require manned ship flights to be completed and so forth. It's not a biggie if one is doing everything, but I remember scratching my head not knowing what I still needed to complete for some late game project in the previous version.

Playing the game for 4th time now I think makes me wish the mission films had some skip forward button - sitting through the same animation for N-th time is a bit boring really.

Finally, for missions that run multiple seasons - it would be nice for the program to use previous flight crew by default. Having to click to assign the crew and then click on assign best people every season gets boring, especially if there are no other missions flying.

I second that, especially near the end when I'm managing several paralel probe missions to various planets, one can at times get lost on which probe was already sent etc.
So perhaps a different color frame for the missions that were "fully used" but also another color for missions taht are "in progress" (as in the probe is currently flying twoards jupiter etc.)

I imagine this will be even more important once episode 2 with its space station missions comes along.
