Where are the completions for ships?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I am not certain, but is it possible that when there are two or more completions for ships in a turn it only shows one drop down? I keep finding completed ships for which there was no completion drop down.

OK. I just confirmed it. I just had a turn where two ships were completed but there was only one drop down.

Now I had only one ship completion and no drop downs.

Now the ship completions seem to be showing up. With three completions in the same turn I got three drop downs.

On occation I have had ship and tech-completions comming two times for the same project. Both on the turn of cempletion and on the subsequent turn.

looks like the dropdowns do not work quite ok.

I would alsolike ship dropdowns to just take me to the planet and select it but NOT enter the planet screen, either that or go to the spaceport screen.

Yes. I would also like the ship drop downs to take me to the spaceport screen instead of the planet screen when it is left clicked. Since I don't know what is in the plan, I was assuming that was something that would happen in a future beta level.

We'll look into both these problems...Having the Starport come up instead of the Planet Screen should be easy, the icons not popping up correctly would be a bit more work.

Here is an oddity I just noticed, but whether it relates to the missing ship completion drop downs or not I can't tell.

A planet completed the social improvement "basic factory" when the turns to complete a ship changes from one week to 0 weeks, the ship gets completed (as might be expected) but the drop down for the ship does not appear. So far, I have only observed this once that I know of. But then, this is the first time I have been watching closely.

Perhaps it is the result of the ship being completed more quickly. Perhaps it is because one drop down for that planet has already been queued. Perhaps it is something else entirely.

Another thing I noticed, the ship time to completion (except as observed above) will sit at 0 weeks for two turns.

Watching social completions is a bit more difficult, so I am not sure, but I am getting the impression that social completions occur a week early (no "0 weeks to completions"). I am still watching this and will post my observations if it differs from this.

Well, I wish this problem was a bit easier to develop some sort of a pattern of when it happens. This time I completed a ship on a planet that had no social projects being built (it had finished building on its last buildable tile several turns ago).

I have watched over a dozen social completions and have not seen even one that displayed a "0 weeks" in the completion field. Is this a planned change? If so, I welcome it.

I am now seeing cases where ship completions happen after only one turn of "0 weeks" to go.

I have now observed a consistant case with the ship completion drop down failures: If the planet is selected when a ship is completed, there is no drop down for it.

But this is not the only case where ship completion drop downs fail to show.

Well, the consistant failure I pointed out in post #12 has just been proved to be inconsistant. I had a planet selected and after two turns of "0 weeks", it completed the ship and the drop down appeared.
