    Game List:
    • Game State default should be "In Lobby".
    • You should be able to sort by the column headings.
    • You should be able to search by a player name
    • You should be able to filter by friends games
    • It would be nice if there were a way to save your filter preferences. For instance I would like to always have show modded and normal games ON by default myself.
    Game Lobby:
    • Alliance Max number of players box. You can change this number if you have alliances on that is that max amount of people per team.
    • Way to have dynamic alliances in team games (Max number of teams in alliance setting)
    • Max number / target number of planets box. This way when you hit random you don't get 5 gazillion, unless you want to.
    • Way to see specs of solar system and planets. It would be GREAT if you could see how the solar system was setup, but at a minimum you should have as much information as the lobby game list.
    • Way to trade spots with another player. There are work arounds for this right now but it would be a nice to have.
    Post your ideas below.

    I've been proposing some of these for a while. i don't think its top priority, since its hard to even find 10 lobbies up at one time.

    I would like to add:

    Give the possibility to the players to look at the list of games/lobby, without disconnect from the lobby he already joined.

    Just out of curiosity, since I am not up todate regarding the server browser, how are those people supposed to join the passworded game that are supposed to if it is not on the list?
