I think a combined research and production queue would be nice. It would also be nice if you could tell the game exactly how many resources you want to devote to different things every turn. This could help, for instance, when you're being invaded, bombed, or packeted.

Let's say you have 5000 resources to go to a tech level you want, which you want to make sure you get next year. The way it is right now, you might go through ten different planets and pull various things out of the q's, like some ships, mines, factories, or terraforming. Then you check the research screen, and it tells you you'll put 5000 resources into research next year, so you'll achieve that tech level by then. The problem is, what happens if you get hit by a packet before the research gets done, or something along that line? Now only 4500 resources go to the research, which means it doesn't get done and you don't get the tech until next year.

The way I usually handle this is to make sure I have a "buffer zone" by freeing up maybe 5,500 resources, instead of 5,000, but that can be somewhat painful waste. It would just be easier to tell the game "Put enough resources into this field to make sure we get it done next year, regardless of what happens." Other orders could be included too: "Make sure we get this tech next year, but whatever you do, DON'T pull the resources from this plaent." Basically, it would give you the ability to prioritize and direct what you're doing with your resources.

Yeah, bread too.
