gigantic map and end turn

only one ship moves at a time

I really like to play long games on a gigantic map.
But what really freaks me up with that setting is when I click on "TURN" and each of my ships with auto pilot gets moved one by one and the AI ships move all at once.
In a lot of situations it is good that way, to notice what is going on around your ships.
But there are a lot of situations where I would like my ships to move all at once like the AI ships ... or at least faster.
Good example is the endgame at a gigantic map when you have 100+ ships moving around and you have have to watch each single one when it moves.

So a setting like "move all auto pilot ships at once on end turn" would be really cool

I play gigantic maps ONLY. They are quite playable.

If you zoom way in on small area of the map before hitting turn you don't wait nearly so long. It greatly speeds up end of turn time on gigantic maps. Of course, you don't then get to see your own and the AI's movement which can be a bit of a disadvantage, so I usually use this technique only when I have a lot of ships moving at the same time.
