That's a compilation of some of the most wanted stuff by the community. Will be edited when more suggestions come.
Please note that only important and consensual features are listed.
(I guess a mod could sticky it?)
1) Command queue
2) Mouse cursor changing on targets, objects, etc (edit: It is being worked on)
3) Ladders / rankings / leaderboards
4) In-game clan support
5) Replays
5) A blink/rush ability for CQC units... tired of my troops gettin wipedo ut by hellfires... (i dont think they'll sticky it unless you get more people lol)
We will stick it if the community supports the topic. For sure I love to see it was started.

6) Xenoshards used for more things
7) Save replay function after playing a game should be added. It will be nice to create demo's for the newbies.

You people are sort of missing the point. Consensual and obviously good features only, please.
I, for one, want the shards REMOVED. So suggesting increasing their importance is non-consensual. Also, the suggestion about using fast closing in battle is more a balance suggestion than feature.
Anyway, added the replay suggestion to the list.

Ok, we discuss the features here and if the majority wants them you edit your first post.
What about improved zooming(in and probably out) like the one in some of the screenshots?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to post some suggestions here, too.
1. increased camera zoom-in range (would be great for better admiring the details)
2. possibility to select units via the unit-buttons in the lower and top left corner (atm it is only possible to select one unit; I am aiming at adding units to the selection by shift-clicking and to select all of a type via ctrl-click on the pictures, not only on the battlefield) in short: expand all selection commands to the pictures
3. a "move and attack on sight" command (at the moment it seems to work for ranged units only by using ctrl-click on the ground)
4. restriction of camera controls when rotating (atm when pressing the MMB the cam rotates as it should, but when the pointer touches the screen's edge, it also scrolls sideways which is annoying when not intended)

5. I would strongly recommend to overhaul the german translations. for me as a german the names seem kind of, well, strange. I am talking about the units' names here, but other translations could be improved, too. I quickly switched to English language after a short time, so I am probably not perfectly up-to-date, though.
But that's a problem nearly every single game has, by the way. Not only yours.
Maybe it would be worth employing people who can do it well, rather than using google's translation tool ;) - no offense.
So long

There should be an option to add a friend by his name. Now there is only a possibilty to add him when you see him in chat window and so. We need some button in Friends menu to pop out a window and write username of friend to add him in list.

1. New Cult units because now they are strategically shallow, if not talking about commanders they are the greatest.
2. Tribes redesigned.
3. Grid reworked.
4. Only green item rule in competitive matches or completely removed from them.
