This one is very frustrating

I launch a ship from orbit, and when I go to move it, I'm actually moving some ship from across the galaxy, and now I have to find what I just moved so I can direct it back to the original destination.

Sometimes when I launch a ship, the newly launched ship gets focus, and sometimes it goes to a different ship. That alone wouldn't be so bad, except that the screen doesn't move, so I'm still centered on the just-launched ship, and get fooled into thinking it still has focus.
