1.7 Shipyard queue NEEDS move to top button

With the way 1.7 works, auto building S base constructors, you can easily end with 50+ queued basic constructors.  If (when) you need to build a ship, moving it to the top ov the queue is a real pain.  A move to top button would fix this

In addition to that there needs to be an optimization so that 50+ constructors are not queued anymore. This autoupgrade system for starbases is awesome but on larger maps it is terribly inefficient. It occupies all shipyards and to free a shipyard in the menu of every single starbase is a pain.

 

It would also be great if any ship you queue would be build before any autoqueued constructor automatically so you don't have to press the top button every time you queue a ship.

Sounds critical.

Totally agree, it would be quite helpful! In addition to that, I would love to see a button on the Shipyard screen that would remove that shipyard from the auto-building sponsor list so that no constructors will be built there automatically instead of having to go into each and every starbase to edit their sponsors to omit the shipyard you don't want included. Easy to do if you plan on this from scratch, but once you have a big thriving empire, having to go in to do this is a major PITA when you want to dedicate that particular shipyard to only build the ships you want!

Drag being the operative word here, too. ;)

Possible fix: Have constructors queued for bases always come after any ships ordered by the player, unless the player moves one of them up on the list.

And yes, Move To Top would be a very handy button in that list if the auto-queuing stays as it is. Maybe a double-click instead of a button?

[Edit] And now that I read the thread a little better, I notice I should have seconded
