Find a Star System

I know you can see the production screen of a particular planet by clicking on the news article but once you've done that, the icon drops from the news listing and you also can't check other planets in the star system. If you exit the screen, your left looking at the next ship to move, not the star system so you have to scroll around until you find it again.

Even on a medium map, I get confused as to where star systems are. My mind can only hold so much. The Find button cycles through ships that haven't moved yet but there is nothing for star systems.

I think we need a find button that pops up the list of star systems from the list, click bingo not only are you looking at the list of planets in the side bar, but the main screen is focused on the star system and you can see at a glance what the star system is doing, including all the planets in it.

I have had many occasions where I was desperately trying to find a star system by name. I have been hoping that when the planet list becomes sortable the problem will dissapear. It would also be nice if some aid was available that would "fast forward" through the list, such as pressing a letter key to advance to the first planet that starts with that character.

Cheers,
Jack

Dominic: if you hit the button between the two arrows at the bottom of the planet data screen, you can change it from the planet view to the system view, so that you can see other planets in the system. Also, if you click on a planet in the planet list, it should center on that star system. Hope this helps at least a little for now.
