When in the planet management screen, each planet name has a shield next to it if there is a ship in orbit. However, I often keep at least one (even if weak) ship in orbit, to prevent a cakewalk invasion from happening.
What happens is, I'll send ships into orbit in random places to heal up, or sometimes (more often than I prefer) the game will crash when I generate a turn (out of memory, I'm increasing swap space AGAIN, LOL). When this happens, and I restart the game, I now don't have the little icons on the right leading me to the planets where ships were just built.
The net result of these two events is that I now need to go find where I have ships that need to leave orbit, versus the ones I want to keep in orbit. On a smaller map, it's no big deal, but on a large one, it's a real pain.
What I would LOVE to see, is when you mouse over the shield next to the planet name in the planet management window, it would give you a pop-up with the list of what ships are in orbit. It wouldn't even need to be interactive. I'm just looking for a way to quickly identify where the ships I'm looking for are orbiting.
Thanks!
