Purchase building/ship and battle at the same time.

from Stardock Forums
When I purchase buildings and or ship during a battle, my screen is occupied with the message announcing the new purchase and offers me an opportunity to select the next build task. Meanwhile sounds of the battle are going on at the same time. The net of this is, I have no idea what systems or ships are being attacked since my screen is occupied with the build status/selection screens. Could the battle activity be defered until after I make my build assignments? Or could the building progress reports be defered until after the battle completes for the turn?

I have had troubles with this too, on Alpha 5a. I wonder, could enemy attacks
on ships be listed as events in the events window?

Thanks,
Jack

How about a post battle report screen that lists, each turn, all battles, where they took place (a system name or some coordinates), who attacked who, what ships were involved, and who won. Something kinda like this:

Turn 286
Drengin attack Humans
Quadrent 1:4 - Grid 12:17 (Sol System)
Drengin Battleship123 (23hp) - Human Battleship32 (0hp)
Drengin Battleship123 (12hp) - Human Battleship57 (0hp)
Drengin Battleship123 (0hp) - Human Avatar127 (34hp)
....

I'm sure that you could think of something cleaner, nicer looking, etc. Just throwing out some ideas.
