News Window - quick link

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but it would be nice when you get a message that "factory has completed on Earth - now building : Nothing" that you could double click that and go to the planet.

It also might be nice to have a mini menu when it says a ship has been completed, that will let you launch the ship, set a rally point, all from the news screen.

Just tossing out a few ideas.

You do ... sort of. If you look down the right hand side of the screen you get that little green planet icon (sort of like the blue ship finished icon) that falls down. If you click on that you go to the planet in question, just like you go to the planet with the finished ship.

Kupkake.

All you have to do is double click the building annoucement. It then takes you to the planet screen. When you exit out of that it takes you right back to news screen.

...and now new to v1.2 you can locate the planet on the map! In my last game on a gigantic map (created with v1.1), I had over 200 planets. Trying to locate a planet with too much population, so you could send a troop transport to redistribute the masses, was a major pain!
