6. Display ranks bonuses for each unit in imperial archive.
8. Add an option in capital or global interface to quickly go to allied npc dwelling screen to buy from it.

3. Allow teammates to send weapons and mods which they get from map rewards.
6. Add pins or flags on minimap and strategic map, it helps to point out something for teammates.
7. Replay enemy units movement animation at the start of a PBEM turn. ex: if opponent moved a scout and spotted my troops and retreated (or deleted his scout), i should be able to see his scout movement animation incase i wasnt present.

Additionally: Increase the size of the 'Item Crate' graphic. I couldn't tell you how many times one is hidden behind a colony's spire or nameplate.

Add option to manually set opponent's secret techs in global interface. ex: once i know my opponent's secret tech there should be a place to select it so i can remember it in my next turns.

Actually, it must appear in diplomacy screen when you've spotted ST unit, mod or operation.

Limit strategic operation casting to 1 each per strategic turn.
It's common in multiplayer for attacker having many army buff/debuff operations primed and ready + casting some of it again on enemy army stacks, this is a huge advantage for attacker so i suggest to forbid casting the same strategic operation again per turn and maybe also limit the number of slots for "primed and ready" operations to 2-3. it also make sense to prevent a player to scout up to 18+ hexes ahead with deploying several Monitors.

Disagreed. You can use same operation only 2 times in most cases. Also if defender had high operational defense it makes operation for attackers completely useless.
Also this is issue of PBEM only and such suggestion harms the idea of priming of operations a lot.

Monitors could be more expensive.

My suggestions (mostly for multiplayer)
1. Make option for distance between opponents on map generation. In our live MP matches (2vs2) this value is completely random.
2. Make keybinding for closing the game chat. It was earlier, but you've deleted it... Why?
3. Make possible to cancel turn timers in the middle of game. Reason: we change game mode from simultaneous to classic and want to turn off timer, but we can't.

Next suggestions for MP
1. Disable sound effect of Dvar Prospector's prospecting for everyone except owner. Sometimes, it's pretty easy to say which race your opponent has just hearing this effect.
2. Add option to disable replay in tactical combat when you was disconnected (maybe as additional option in game settings before hosting). You must watch all enemy moves again, that's very tedious and time consuming and game is pretty unstable...
