Some suggestions after playing beta 3D

I have been playing the beta versions since 3A and I think that GalCiv is shaping up to be a great game, but after hours of playing I do have a few suggestions...

1) I feel like I am doing way too much mouse clicking throughout the course of the game. One improvement that I would like to see is an option for each planet to not give notification each time a project from the build queue is completed, and to just proceed to the next project in the queue. Typically, I want most of my planets to just proceed through the build queues without feedback.

2) Implement a Sector Explore command for ships that would cause a ship explore the entire specified sector, then stop and wait for new orders. I think this command would make it easier to track and manage ships. Currently, I use the "Sector Sweep" to explore a sector
and sometimes will forget about scouts or colony ships as they will continue to 'sweep' forever.

3) I think this has been mentioned in a previous post, but have an option to auto orbit ships once they are built. It currently takes too many mouse clicks to orbit a ship now. Also, it would be nice to have waypoints that new ships could automatically be sent to to better manage ships. I find that ship management can grow to be cumbersome as the game progresses.

4) Randomize research items availability. I find that I go through the exact same research sequence every game.

5) Implement an "Auto Explore" command for scouts simular to the "Auto Survey" command for survey ships.


Overall, I have enjoyed playing GalCiv. Thanks for providing this forum for feedback.
