Greetings all,
Recently started playing GalCiv III and moving along pretty well in my ability to play the game. I'm a pretty casual player who prefers large, slow games with all the AIs playing. My normal settings would be something like this:
Immense Galaxy, Spiral
Common to frequent stars/planets/habitables
I'm about 350 turns into my current game and fleet management has become a huge chore. I had about three dozen fleets, ranging form 1-ship scouts and exploration ships to my main battle fleets with 6-10 medium sized ships each. This was a little annoying, but then I made it a LOT worse. One of the Ideology selections gives you 3 defensive fleets at all your colonies (I have 56...). This turned my three dozen fleets, almost all of which were out doing something each turn into nearly 100 fleets, two thirds of which are just sitting at my planets playing defense. Which is fine - I just don't want to see them in my "Fleets" list because now it takes 15 minutes a turn just scrolling through my fleets.
Is there a way to "hide" fleets I'm not using from the list on the right had side of the screen? Barring that, is there a way to move all the "inactive" fleets to the bottom of the list? Since there doesn't seem to be "next" function when trying to move from fleet to fleet, at least I could have all my stuff that needs attention every turn at the top of the list.
