I've had my main Prometheum/Shattered Planet platform destroyed a few times, mainly biter egg escapes then my explosive rocket silos destroy the hub. When this happens I get a small beep and message that the platform was destroyed. I've missed it several times, most recently to discover it was several hours ago!

I think this kind of event is significant. An alert that biters are hatching on any platform would be good, but a freeze frame or pause, and jumping to a platform that is about to be or was just destroyed for context would be nice. If not anything it would be cool not to miss the final moments of a platform's destruction.

This is a good idea. We get a really cool explosion when a nuke plant goes up. A spaceship should be pretty big, too.
I haven't tested to see what happens if a Fusion plant brews up.

You should set targets for your missile turrets, and simply use laser turrets to remove biters. Especially not to waste ammunition.

A spoilage level signal would be nice, but making it "too easy".

+1 for vast explosions and the like x

Not coming from the more memorable/spectacular angle... But my prometheum platforms are taking damage once in a blue moon and I have no clue what is missing. I'm never watching the ship when it takes damage, so I dont know what to add to it to prevent the damage. Would be nice if there was some way to know what happened in the last few seconds...

We could have whatever remains of the platform rain down as damaged items in burning drop pods. And among them a blueprint of the "corpse" will hide.

+1 I guess, sounds like a cool QOL improvement
