focus on space station

In earlier versions when a constructor reached a space station the screen focused on that station.
In the new beta that doesn't happen so you don't know which station you are updating.

You still can enable the old auto-focus behavior in the options.

Doesn't "c" center on the starbase when the window pos up? If not, this would be a nice improvement.

I get around this issue by naming each starbase so you know which one you are upgrading. I've actually been doing this since v1.0. For instance, on a military (red) resource, I'll name the base "Red Earth" or whatever sun is closest. An economic base I'll call "Econ Wardell" or whatever. This really helps when you have 10 or 20+ starbases when playing on the larger galaxies.

What would really make my day is if the SD team would allow a checkbox for "automatic rally point assignment" that gives a newly named starbase a rally point with the same name. I create rally points with the same name for EVERY starbase as it is, and it amounts to lots of extra keystrokes for something that seems like it could be automated. Anyway, that's my feature creep request.
