Sorting through planets that you've colonized can be time consuming. We need a better UI then the simplistic menu interface that we have.

I suggest there be a new top-level UI window for planetary interaction. It would have a table with a row for each planet in the system. Each row would have

- planet name
- planet type
- planet radius
- An icon for the customs office, if one exists
- An icon to view in planetary mode
- An indication if the player has a colony on that planet.
- (maybe) a readout of the ratios of resources available on that planet.
- options to warp to the planet, warp to the customs office, set destination, etc..

A 2nd tab on the window would show the same table but containing those planets which the player has colonized.

Agreed, these are more good ideas on top of a mountain of ideas to improve the UI. When you have THAT MANY suggestions, best to just start again yes?

I'm sick and tired of struggling with the UI to find out where my PI colonies are set and what they have on them, so yeah this is a MUST HAVE for every player running PI stuff, my current workaround is an awesome note with all that info, which is...not cool
