[Q]

What I use a lot to reduce the micro-management is the "repeat" order for construction. Together with way points this saves me quite a bit of work. When the cargo of a planet is full and I get the message in the log file, I send a carrier/transport to the planet and load the units and construction can continue.
What I miss is a "next system" button as you have now a next ship/fleet/planet. I go through my empire system by system and I always have to invent a strategy not to forget one system!
