Random Ideas

1. When you end your turn, it would be nice if all the ships that have autopilot would move at the same time. Of course, you would have to move some ships individually, like ones attacking other races you aren't at war with and constructors.

2. For custructors, it would be nice to basically have markers on the map in whatever order you want. Then constructors would auto launch themselves and go to the next marker in queue. We would also need the ability to queue up the same spot more than once because we will want to upgrade the starbase first. If the space is empty, you would just have to pop up the starbase creation screen.

3. Give the ability to turn off auto-focus when a ship goes onto a Rally Point.

2, you can already do this using the rally point system, just put a point on the base, and assign a planet to that, so the ships coming out of there will go right to it and upgrade it. if you name your starbase you can also name the rallypoint that, so you know where you ships are going.

I think MetalKid means a waypoint system. Constructor launches goes to Sb 1 and if its complete it moves to waypoint 2 at starbase2 etc...

The option to turn off Auto-focus is coming. v1.2, 1.3, no one knows yet, but the devs said it was being put in.

I've never actually used this method but I would imagine you could just set a "Constructor rally point" and when one starbase filled up -- just move it to the next waypoint you would have set. You'll have a lot of backtracking but no micromanaging since all your planets can keep sending it to the "Constructor rally point."
