1. I think air staging and refueling times, should not be touched! Why? Because it would require so much micro, that couldn't be handled even by grandmasters.We often hear people complain about such simple things as putting mass storage around mexes or building energy storage; can you imagine the confusion trying to handle the fast moving planes every once in awhile? Air would be practically unusable by the vast majority of the user base.
This is the right idea.
While it would not be a bad idea to make fuel a somewhat more significant factor, I like that units do what they are supposed to do with a minimum of hassle in supcom. Given that planes are already rather disposable, I would NOT want a system where planes have to return to base after dropping their payload, that would be far too much micro, and just plane annoying.
Planes depleting fuel with shots fired would be fine, but there shouldn't be loads of differentiation. It should simply be a second's worth of fuel (or some similarly small amount) spent per shot fired. The various types of plane are already plenty differentiated from each other by the way they fire.
I'm also strongly against passive area bonuses. Planes should have to actually use staging platforms/carriers, not just be near them.

Aircraft without fuel can't fire but can fly home
I think this would be the best way, and they could fly at a reduced speed as they do now. (Maybe they could fly at half speed, instead of speed 1 or whatever crawl they move at now?)

5: I'd like to see Strategic Missile Subs become useful. Another unit which I never see used.
I see missile subs used all the time, and I like them very much the way they are. Yes, nuke silos are better, but they are also obvious targets, and obvious signals to your opponent that they should build SMD. One of my friends likes to always build a missile sub as soon as he gets to T3 navy, then as the game progresses he has nukes on hand. Just because you never see them used hardly means they aren't good or popular.

6: I'd like to see something done to T3 Artillery to make them a real option. While I do see them used, they never seem to have much of an effect.
I don't see them used overmuch, but that's because people aren't going to build them on 20x20s except in a late game stalemate. When I do see them used they usually are pretty dominating. (Except for the Aeon T3 arty. That one seems to suck, 20sec is way too long a fire cycle.)

7: I would LOVE to see Mavor buffed to be what it should be: An incredibly expensive unit which, when built and unanswered, wins the game. The king of destruction, and worthy of it's name.
THIS I agree with 100%. Even with a large DPS, it is so inaccurate! I don't know why its accuracy was reduced so much from vanilla, but regardless of damage, when it takes five or six shots to hit a target again... meh. I basically always find it more useful to just build seven or eight Novax. Although I wouldn't want it to be almost 100% accurate like it used to be, maybe a little bit more?
