When using the mouse wheel the game is inconsistent in its actions.
In the planet/ship list (on the right hand side of main screen) scroll events often simply seem to be ignored. Sometimes (rarely) the main view will zoom while the mouse is positioned smack in the middle of planet/ship list. Scroll speed per wheel tick is about 1/4 entry height.
Scrolling in the available improvements list in the planet screen almost always works, but rather slowly. One wheel tick results in a scroll of about 1/4 list entry height.
The scrolling in the sponsor list in the shipyard screen is unbearable slow; every mouse wheel tick is about 1/28 of an entry height. In the shipyard manufacturing queue 1 wheel tick translates into a scroll of 2/3 of the entry height.
Selecting a ship and choosing upgrade. The upgrade window list has the same problems as the planet/ship lists in the main view. But also when pointing the mouse at an upgrade that can not be performed (because you have insufficient funds) all wheel ticks are ignored.
I would prefer it if a single wheel tick would scroll 1 (or more) full height of an entry in all the lists; Possibly wheel-speed for list scrolling select-able as a setting in the interface option tab.
