1. Please, oh, please, make the two planet lists sticky. So that when I check my planets at
the end of every turn and then I go to the planet to make changes, please alow the planet list
NOT to start at the top again. As it is, change, and scroll from the top, change and scroll
from the top, etc.
One thing that helps my finger is that you don't have to use mouse clicks to scroll, you can
use the down cursror on the keyboard or your mouse's wheel. Still annoying. Scroll, scroll,
scroll.
Here is another trick to lessen scrolling. Suppose that you are building mainly one kind of
ship--colonizing, attack, troop, whatever. I create my new troop ship. And I then name it "Troop whatever"
but now it is at the bottom of about 20 ship types. Everytime I want to build it, I have to scroll, scroll, scroll.
Instead name it "AA Troop Whatever" and it will be at the top of the list. It's what they do in the yellow pages.
2. It would be nice if the GNI was up to date. I do quick builds the turn, set up new construction,
and the GNI at the start of the next turn is out of date.
3. Ok. On our planets, we can create a list of projects to build. If any of you played "Stars!" earlier,
you may remember than you could create standard lists of what to build and in what order.
We should be able to create a list that allows me to build say two factories, two enetertainment centers.
The name of the build list should then be an option to choose (particularly useful when you are
doing a colony rush)--assuming you like to start the same way on most plantets.
Now I do admit that I don't use governors.
