UI--way to get rid of clicks
from

GalCiv2 Forums
The UI has improved but there are number of ways
to reduce the clicking. These may not show up
til the expansion or GC3. But we need to let the
developers know they can do even better.
Please add to the list or dispute mine.
1. We need to be able to create standard queues for planet
production. These queues would be created and then could
be chosen instead of other social items.
For example, my standard planet starts with 3 factories, an
entertainment center, and starport. I know I can do this
manually for each planet at the beginning. Why not let me
select a queue already created. (Of course implemented in
Stars!).
2. I know there is a quick lauch button for newly created
ships. Still I look like a button on the GNI to launch
a particular ship. I may not want launch all ships. It
would be nice not to have to go to the planet to do this.
3. Replacing one model ship in production with another. Can I
do this on all the planets at one time after,say, gaining
a tech that allows the ship to go further? Right now, I
usually have to do this manually planet after planet. Sometimes
(for reasons) not known to be the UI picks up on this and
does the updating on the other planets. Sometimes not.
4. I have been crying about this for years. Make the planet list
at the left side sticky. I like to scroll through it at the
end of each turn. But if I make a change, I have to start at the
top of the list again. I think the planet list under stats is now
sticky. But it is harder to get to. And I like the planet list
on the main screen. Make it sticky or make stickiness an option.
Please add or substract from this list. What can we do to cut down
clicks?
