i don't know weather or not you could do this but i think it would be cool if the ftb launcher would be able to automatically send bug reports and other necessary information to the author of the mod that caused the problem (if possible) not only would it make it easier for the average person to send the reports in, it would also help the authors because it would directly go to them with all of the needed info. thoughts anyone?

Maybe if it gave the option to send crash report... But since 90% of crash reports are merely id conflicts/memory issues/version conflicts. And FTB has no need for them... Unless of course they only do that for only unmodified Pack instances. As all the configs etc "Should" be fine....
Perhaps instead if the launcher browsed your crash report for common problems such as those above mentioned. Or currently known crashes. Then a message could pop up.
For example it could browse all of the [Severe] lines put to console and check for the things mentioned above.
Eg if the crash report had the common "slot X is occupied by Y when adding Z" The have a little pop up saying instance crashed because Y has the same block ID as Z. or something more genius then that... But you get the gist of the concept

Firstly, love the FTB launcher, but I have a few pointers 
- Why is the "server package download" so unintuitive?
Wouldn't it be easier to make the huge FTB logo smaller (the one thats above mod list in the right side of the launcher) and put the server download button at the top for easy access (illustration pic: http://i.imgur.com/xDEWS.png)
The second logical way would be integrating server support straight into the launcher, so you would have easy server script that would download the package and generate a properties file with the data you would enter. There would be addon management and simple update service like it is now with modpacks.
Thanks for your hard work, keep it up
