Re: Help me stop losing my interest!
It's also occurred to me that my Hypermaze mod slows your development down enough to reduce your micromanagement; you only have a fraction as many habitable systems to deal with.
You do have to pay more attention to supply, though. I regularly have to send a tender to rescue ships that ran out of supplies in hyperspace.

Re: Help me stop losing my interest!
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!

You don't just go randomly clicking on every button to see what it does?

holey mother of moley, i always assumed that button filled your current que with lots of a single item. so, do these pre-saved queues get saved with your empire the same way ship designs do?
thats the most amazing thing i have heard, since i found out you could right click on the quadrant map!

Really? That's something I didn't know.
I rarely save empires, except to set up PBW games.
