I've stopped upgrading my starbases completely in my game now, I'm just too frustrated trying to manage them all. I think in future games I might try Uatu's method of having only a few planets building the constructors; that should help me oragnize them better. I'm also not going to bother with econ bases anymore, maybe just a couple for my very high production planets. Please Stardock, give us some way to better manage starbases and constructors!

Thank you all for your responses; not too bad for my first thread here =D Managing constructors doesn't become a hassle for me until I have thirty or so planets in a larger galaxy; with a two or three new constructors being built every turn it's very tedious trying to get them all to the appropriate starbases, especially as new upgrades become available. If I could tell at a glance what starbases need improvement it would help a great deal. I agree that eventually an overhaul

While playing I thought of a governor system to help with managing starbases. It doesn't require any major changes to the current starbase/contructor system but would still greatly simplify things. I think the changes might be simple enough to include in a patch, but I'm not a developer so I can't say for sure. Basically. add a special governor section for each type of starbase (Military, Economic, Influence) in the Civilization Manager screen. Each section would list all avail

I recently reinstalled GalCiv2 and became addicted again, but I now realize why I stopped playing in the first place; micromanaging constuctors is extremely tedious and boring. I feel obligated to have all of my starbases with all necessary upgrades to get the most out of them (e.g. econ bases get production and defence, resource bases get mining, defence, and some offence, etc) but with a larger galaxy it becomes too much work. I'm about halfway through my current game (gigantic galaxy) and I
