Adnurm. I don't know if you already do this, but I find it useful to rename them with a name which tells you where they are or what they do, instead of those meaningless numbers. Also delete one when it is no longer necessary.

I rename my handful of rally points also. I usually have just one dedicated to collecting constructors, but sometimes I have a pair of those. If I'm in between base-building projects, I just set that rally point to 'Fleet' and put it somewhere near where I think I'll want to start my next round of building.

For warships, I usually have a 'Home Guard' point somewhere near the core of my territory. When I'm preparing to attack, I create something like 'Drengin Front' on the edge of or just outside enemy territory. If I take the area and it it is close to other strong fleets or production centers, I create a new rally point like 'Drengin Watch' and send all local warship production there while I rename and move the old 'Front' to the next enemy area.

Even though I try to be methodical about it, I do sometimes misplace a rally point if I reassign all of its shipyards elsewhere (or just turn them off for a bit). My most common workaround for that is to find a ship that's used all its movement, send it to the rally point I've misplaced, and follow the auto-pilot line on the minimap and/or main map. It's crude, but it works.

Rally points are mentioned in one of the Tutorials and there is a screen that shows them all and what is going where and they can be reset from there I think.

It's definitely one of the systems that could be improved. I find when I hit the late game I use a *lot* of 'named' points (At some point in late game I will inevitably go through my colonies and starbases and set a 'named' point at each and every one. And then I cuss out frogboy for not implementing the 'tickbox' rally point toggle I suggested for starbases and colonies - {G}. But I digress.) to organize myself, along with larger 'org' level rally points named after my 'regional capitals' in star clusters ("Vega Command", "Spinward Quadrant", et al. You know, when I consider that I once named one of these the "Orion Shipyards", it's just vaguely possible that I play this way to much like an RPG - {G})

That said, I would very much love to see Rally point expanded to allow additional orders - I think anything you can click on a ship and command you ought to be able to order on a rally point, including 'go to rally point "x"'.

Some of us have been pining for that for ages, even before the (Yor) Isolationist super ability came along. When those no-wake zones started popping up, the pining became severe.

Fingers crossed for GC3
