If its been mentioned before then consider it support.
I would like to see manufacturing in chained commands. We have skills that denote our ability to mass produce, yet we are still micromanaging it.
If I am going to manufacture something requiring a lot of components, I should be able to dump it all into a single build command. Give us an option to string something like a capital ship or complex things with a single build order with all required components. Have the base build time as time spent manually building each component, if a player instead batch builds, have it take something like 10% longer or such.
The increase in time could be explained as if you hired a job foreman to manage it from start to finish so it wouldn't reflect as much benefit from your skills since your doing it hands off.

I also like the idea of reducing the amount of clicks in industrial interfaces.

An extreme annoyance of mine at the moment is I should NOT be able to create a harvesting job without giving the harvester an output. If the output link drops it should pause the harvester. I had an entire week that was basically wasted. I setup my planets, triple checked the setup and that all raw materials were defined to a container, with basic processors ready. I come back 3 days later and only 1 of my planets was forwarding any resources from the harvester. All the best part of the yield gone.
Annoyed and frustrated, I reset all the raw resource feeds and hit submit, triple checked it again. Come back 1 day later and this time every single harvester was without a location to send its resources. It took me a few more days to get everything where it should be and it happened a third time later on.
The system has too many clicks as many mentioned before, and components shouldn't work when you have logical issues such as an input with no output. Don't get me wrong, I like PI but its a pain.

I should be able to quick find PI facilities on the planet through a list of facilities built, maybe with its current blueprint or timers in a graphical interface or column?
There is more but I cant think of them right now.
