Making a SOASE app, what would you like it to have/do?

from Sins Forums

I'm a bit crazy and I've decided to make my first app.  I spend 4 hours a day on trains and thought it would be a good use of my time.  Since I love SOASE, I thought it would be as good as anything to do.  However, I was curious what things people would like to see on an app for the game.  To clarify, I'm not making a SOASE replica game (not that good!), but rather a utility app.  I'm thinking things like research trees, ships database, etc.

So what is your feature wishlist for this?  Also, I'm curious if you think I should target it for tablets or phones (which you could use on tablets as well of course).

Thoughts?

P.S. - I'll probably start with iOS first

P.S.2 - It will probably take awhile!

P.S.3 - It will be free.

P.S.4 - I already made a research trees webpage which you can download here in the meantime.

So from asking around, seems like the main things that would be good to start with are reference materials (research trees, ship database, planet types, etc.) and for utility a tool that tells you which ships counter others.
