Well at least let me have the sector stockpiles if anything.

Right now, managing planets is such a pain for me that it creates the situation where I do not want to get more than ca. 15 planets. It becomes a chore to manage them all. What I do is: Scroll through the planet bar, look for overcrowding or missing job symbols, then deal with that. Repeat ad nauseam. I don't know if thats significantly better than the older system. And I don't know if, as a game, you want your players to feel that way.

Speaking of mods: Which do you use? I use Imperium of Man namelist and the gothic ships (Imperial and Chaos) from the Sons of Sigmar steam workshop.
