We need this pretty badly. Doesn't seem like it would be a difficult thing to implement but not having it really hurts. Once you've got 5-10 planets trying to keep track of ship production and being sure they are launched is pretty time consuming.
At least if not an auto launch ship option we need a notification that a ship has been constructed. Launching your colony ship a turn late because you didn't realize it was finished last turn is frustrating.
