Your post is a bit over-formatted, but most of these are decent suggestions, although a few are pretty common.

Yeah, you're probably right about the problems that spherical shields would entail. Looked at some of the older threads, apparently that's how the game used to be, but it was removed because it was way too performance heavy, mostly. Oh well.

I'm thinking that if you want to be able to board a ship, you need more orb-like shields, so they make a barrier 'around' the ship instead of shielding every block. This shield would block weapons fired from outside, but would allow physical objects to pass through. Hell, that would even help...

YES, we absolutely need to separate acceleration and velocity for turning, if nothing else.

This seems to me like it could make the game a lot better. I realllly like the idea of making custom weapons/armor/etc using real blocks. To balance the ease of making these guns/etc very cheaply, the equipment factory could simply take a long time and/or use a lot of power. It could even...

You can already sort the block list by simply clicking on the column headers, so sorting by blocks supplied will show the ones with 0 supplied at the top, or sorting by % filled will show the ones with 0% first, then up to 100%, etc.

Currently, I've never seen anyone actually use astrotech modules (or the other support modules, like shield supply, but that is beside the point). The main reason for this is that if you run out of shields and your ship's hull starts to get damaged (and you miraculously survive this event), you...

the problem with this is that it would become incredibly easy to lag out or even crash a server. Even with protections against those, a large number of computers running even simple programs for turrets for example would have the same effect.

You might be able to directly edit the config files to change stuff like mouse buttons, but I'm not sure
