Planet Screen

I miss a couple of things on the Planet Screen:
+ The possibility to see the solar systems location on the Galatic Mini-map.
+ The current Military and Social Projects build by planets displayed in the list of planets on the right side of the screen.

What do you guys think? :)

+ Another thing is actually also a list of improvements build on each planet and which modifiers they give. Perhaps they will be visible of the Details Screen?

+ The Military and Social Projects lists doesn't reset from visit to visit. Furthermore there isn't an indicator of where on the list you are - and the arrows doesn't work.

What we are adding is a couple of status bars, Red for military, green for social projects. They will be displayed in the planet list screen bellow all the info, like Population, Moral, etc.

But you do have some good ideas.

OK, so if I'm reading this correctly, you want to see a list of military and social projects that have been built on that planet. That will be on the Planet detail screen.

The arrows at the top of the screen switch between solar systems that you have colonized. In the future, there will be a button that you can use to switch it to go through all your colonized planets. Once you select a ship to build, it keeps building that ship unless you disable Auto-Build on the options menu.

Currently, the only way to check the progress of your projects is the number of turns displayed at the bottom of the little text windows underneath the list boxes. I am working on the planet list today, so if nothing goes horribly wrong, I should have it done for the update at the end of the week.

Alex: Thanks! The reason for having current Military and Social Projects visible on the right (vertical) list of planets in a system - is for quick comparison of production in that system. Today it's a lot of clicking to match production in a 5 planet system, when you want one to build a Defender, another to build a Battleship, no. 3 to build a Transport and make sure the last two doesn't build anything.
Furthermore it would make it easier for you to check that all planets are building something.

Cari: What frustrates me, is that I'm not able to see which improvements is in effect on a given planet - and what their modifiers does to that planets output - both in terms of production, economy, science, moral and prestige. It's cool with me, that these informations are available on the Details Screen :)

Can I add a request (for implementation at some much later stage) to sort the items in the social list. A button to switch from a type sort into a cost sort would be useful. Then you would have the cheapest items on top and could easily choose which one of those to build without having to scroll through the whole list.
