Maybe it is possible to load more AIs into Fleet Ops? Like Mapfiles...? Would give the game another individual touch! Is this possible?

Do you mean more AI modes (as in expanding the current selection of normal, hard, merciless)? If this is what you mean, it is unfortunately not possible according to the devs

Very true

The updates GUI looks MUUUUUUUUCH better. Still, the buttons should be adjusted so they fit into the rest of the GUI (in terms of colors).

Why? Isn't it not just like changing the mapfile? The AI does have normal files with "trees" in it - what to do when...

Hey, they just made build button making easier Blade. At least there is only one colour to use for the background! So less editing for the UI makers. 

i bet after changing/modding these files the game is not compatible anymore for playing online, and thats basicly what this mod is all about.
even if i like to play instant action more then online, due to timezones and lagspikes etc., i accepted that a long time ago.

Would it be possible to make the background of the buttons look like the window edging from the last screenshot? Perhaps with a little bit of a bluish glow like on the edges from the twin sets of two lights?

Oh, I got an idea! Transparent buttons that just show the build/weapon icon that the bg of the button highlights when you hover over it. For example, an Akira button, it only shows the Akira at first, but when you hover over it you see a backgroud of a Starfleet symbol or a background featuring an LCARS like look. If that can be implimented than who knows what else.

Is it possible to change the cursor for the borg?

in the shows you can see that there is a green (or red?) cross when they target an enemy.
so is it possible to change the cursor for the borg in that way?

Good work.

but I dont see how the player can see his hull strength and shield strength as neither are seen.

Has anyone been able to have it where energy recharge effects sheild recharge? To me that makes some minor parts more realistic...
