Glad to hear there's some love with that hate :D
You're quite right with a lot of this, and luckily for me a few of the fixes to that are (hopefully) easy to implement like automating the evac ships.
Balancing units and revamping movement are on the list but might take a bit though, there's a lot of duct tape from throwing this all together in 7 days.
I'll be doing updates some time after the jam's voting period is finished, thanks for taking the time to leave the detailed feedback!
