Scrolling Speed, Launching ships and other small things

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hello everyone. Played a few small games of GalCiv II and am hoping some seasoned players can help me with some small questions that I have.

Firstly, the scrolling speed - I have my scrolling speed on full yet the edge-scrolling is still so slow. My framerate is good, and I'd rather not make any OS adjustments to my mouse speed. Any cfg files I didnt see?

Another thing I noticed is, when creating a ship, it docks in the shipyard and I have to manually launch it. Is there anyway to have it auto-launch after creation?

Thanks for any answers

Cant help on the scrolling but....

Are you playing DL, DA or ToA?

For Dl and DA there isn't one

For ToA
In the option/game menu there is a check box that reads 'Auto launch ships from orbit' click that and your good to go.

Note: in all versions you can right click on the little blue ship icon that appears on the right hand side of the screen when a ship is built. That will launch the ship. Its way easier then having to: click the planet-then the ship-then the launch button.

Actually you can auto-launch in DA and DL. You just need to setup a colony rally point for the planet's in question and then any new ship built will automatically be auto-launched and have it's destination set to the rally point. If I don't actually want to send all ships to the rally point then I go to the Governors under the Civilization Manager and set the destination of all ships going to the Rally point to "None".

I do it this way instead of using the "launch all ships" button that LedZerggelin refers to because that button, along with the announcement that a ship has been built, doesn't always appear, at least not in DL. If the "launch all ships" button appears reliably then that's probably the best option. However, one thing I'm not sure about is if the "launch all ships" button launches *only* ships built in the current turn, leaving other ships in orbit that may have been purposely left there. The autolaunch method that I described only launches ships just built, leaving any ships that were previously in orbit, still in orbit.
