A feature I'd like to see in the future full version of the Infodex is a bit of backstory on the Biomonsters and Robots. Say, a good sized paragraph.
Just like the part browser for mecha, the monster viewer will show a description of the monster. Actually it's exactly the same procedure so of course it will work like that. Now I have to add portrait images for all the monster types, and also add descriptions to them.
Key NPCs should also have descriptions/biographies that can be viewed by looking at them.

P.S - Malls are still unbalanced - On one game almost EVERYTHING was Mecha Repair shops and the smuggler is still only selling tubesteaks.
What mall was that? The way to balance things currently is to explicitly request a certain number of guaranteed shop types, then fill the rest of the store with randomly generated shops.
As for the smuggler, certain smugglers have two inventories: one they show to regular characters, and a good inventory they show only to criminals.

I generally find that Doctors don't sell anything worth my time. Shouldn't they stock pills, medical kits, and other medical items? Currently they only sell one item, which is pretty odd to me.
You're right. The problem there is that doctors don't come with the shopping skill by default... I'll give the basic doctor a few ranks in that skill.

PS: Concerning computers, there is something that isn't good - when installing software onto a computer, most of your computers are called 'computer', which makes it harder to figure out just which one you are trying to install the software on. Also, having a way to look at a computer's current software would be good.
Oops. I didn't think about that. I should manually name all the computers, then.
