Hello,
I'm a casual player of GalCivII and I'm looking forward to the 3rd edition. I wait till the game is finished, so I just watch the streams and read the forum.
For me, the most joy of GalCiv lies in the management and controlling of my empire. So I'm wondering what kind of convenience features and management tools will be available in GalCiv3.
Some examples to clarify:
1. Searchtool - It would be nice to be able to type in a name off a planet or fleet and the view is centered on it or a list of search results is shown.
2. Filters in the colony management table and lists. It would be nice to be able to filter the planet list for names or other attributes. Likewise a grouping option would be most helpful.
3. I would like to put my planets and ships into groups and be able to perform actions on the groups - for example apply governors on groups or have a upgrade queue on a group of ships.
Also I wonder what kind of charts, statistics and special maps will be available in GalCiv3.
So yeah, I appreciate all the features that have been discussed in the streams like the ship-designer, adjacency bonus etc, but is there any information on what is done for convenience and controlling?
