For the research tab it would be nice to better be able to tell which component has been researched. Right now the yellow outline is hard to see. Maybe a zoomed in and out image when researched or not.
The research items should be more clearly identifiable as a either a true research item or a component for starbases or ships.
For each research level it would be nice to have a button for "Research ALL Level X" to complete all the research for that level.
