That is one thing I really wish we had. A button or little sub-empire tree on the interface that lets us keep track of things like superweapons, scouts and colony ships. Whenever I build those I always end up digging around to find them which is a total pain in the ass.
Simple improvements like a circle that slowly dissapears the longer a planet goes without being scouted, or a symbol akin to the capital planet tiara thing that denotes the presence of superweapons. Clicking on the tab would also select all of them in the gravity well. Perhaps shift click could select all of them in your empire and that would solve your problem.
