One of the biggest problems I have in some of my larger save files is scrolling through pages of craft files, or selecting the wrong ship type when I reopen a save after a while. I would be interested in knowing how difficult it would be to add more classifications for ship types?
What I'm suggesting would be the ability to create more classifications of crafts. The ability to more specifically label ships in the Map screen would be quite an improvement. While in the Tracking Station, imagine that you click on the ship filter, but a drop down list with more options appears. You can select just your SSTO's, your airplanes, or your typically shapecraft.
Some of my ideas for new categories include:
Probes: Relays (the kind you need for RemoteTech 2), probes, surveyors, satellites
Rovers: Manned, probe rovers
Landers:
Ships: Aeroplanes, SSTOs, ships
Stations: Unmanned Stations, Manned Stations, motherships, fuel depots
Bases: Mining, Science
EVA:
Flags: Markers (pennants instead of flags), Flags
Asteroids: Asteroids, asteroid bases
This is just a few of the ideas I had off the top of my head, and would love to add more and maybe tr to get this considered for the game or a mod (with help of course).
