Something that is drving me nuts

A simple fix

from GalCiv2 Forums
Forgive me if this has already been brought up, but this is is a bit confusing and I can't be bothered to check through all the pages to find out.

On to my topic...

Maybe this is just me...but I'm finding it incredibly annoyting that one I make a fleet...it doesn't autoselect that fleet. What I've been doing, is making a fleet, then clicking on the mini map to go to the area where I want that fleet to go. Well, it takes a couple seconds for the fleet to create, and when it is created, I don't have anything selected so I end up clicking on the desination point without anything selected.

It would seem like a simple fix to have the fleet created be selected automatically.

Now, I admit up front that I don't know anything about coding, programing or balancing... so maybe there is a good reason that autoselected fleets weren't put in. I just know I would really like to see it implemented.

Patience - Wait until the fleet is created. Before trying to do anything else. By clcking on the minimap before the fleet is fully created you are pulling the focus off it.

I understand HOW to select the fleet, but it just seems like an added step that doesn't need to be there.

I create a fleet and about 90% of the time(if not more) I'm going to want to do something with that fleet right away, so why not have the fleet autoselected?

It's annoying to create the fleet...then have to move the mouse to the created fleet and select it.

I don't think it's a big deal. This isn't a game breaker by any stretch of the imagination. I just think it would be a small change to the game that would improve the flow.
