Can you set auto-launch?

Hello, new to the game. I've been reading these forums, the manual, the wikipedia, and I can't seem to find an option to have ships auto-launch after manufacture? Can you maybe set an auto-goto as well?

I'm just tired of clicking on launch after I build multiple constructors each turn. Thanks in advance! Hopefully once I have some time under my belt I can be constructive. Also this is Ver 1.41x or whatever in case it matters.

There have been three threads about this very issue today.

Little small bule box with the arrow in it on the RHS of the screen. It shows up under the completion icon.

The best way to do this is to use rally points. Refer to the ingame tutorial for specifics.

Thanks and... no kidding? I didn't see any here, I guess I should have just used search. Silly me.

Hehehe yea i asked it just before too. guess it would be in the top of the list in the frequently asked questions. Being that it is a feature that is so well concealed.

Rally points?

Set a rally point next to the world and assign that world to send ships to it.

Otherwise, you have to click "auto launch" every time you make a new ship, which is a royal PITA.

The reason to auto launch is so you can make sure new ships are active, but get a prompt to move them (when you get 500 ships flying around, it's easy to "lose" them.
