I don't know if this has been posted yet, but here are some things that I would like to see, and I'll try to say things that I think haven't been said before; -Estimated Time of Arrival: For just about everything, time till destination, time till research completed, times for everything.

I have started a couple games already, never finished, and I am currently on a 5v5 huge about 5 hours into it. I have max military tree and 3/4 harmony (playing as Advent).
