Completed Ship in shipyard

from GalCiv3 Forums

It would be a nice feature - similar to the Tech Tree(Research) where it lists what you just completed at the shipyard.

Doesn't have to be full graphic/splash screen, it can just be a line at the bottom of window (or anyplace else).

 

Reason being is if you are using the button you can't see what you just completed, so I have to exist shipyard, see what I completed, then go back in and start new project.

I don't think i would care that much? I mean, i always know full well where all my prime shipyards are and what i am doing with them.

I will forget what all the other shipyards are doing of course, but its never going to be that important.... mostly constructors rite? Or Mebe occasionally some transports or unremarkable carriers.

Yeah, it's mostly when it's not a constructor... lol

When you get 3+ shipyards and you jump to manage one, I forget which one was building what. I know what I was building in all three, just not the specific one (as I am terrible with remember names).  

 

Though I also don't think it would be much effort, just an extra attribute per ship yard object which stores last completed set at time of completion. You wouldn't even have to clear it, as the label could be "Last completed:" Though you could easily clear it on the "exit method" as once it's shown once it doesn't need to be shown again.

How it might be useful to me if it remembers the last ship built.... and i can click on that icon to build that design again instead of having to go on an expedition to try and find it in the main ship list with millions of designs making me go cross eyed trying to find the damn thing!!! lol

Because i am usually not inclined to want to use the repeat construction feature for my main shipyards, i like to have a moment to consider if i want to build that same design again or not.

That would be a nice feature as well. Since when having multiple shipyards, if you select one ship in one shipyard, that same ship is selected in the next shipyard, rather than the previous built (at that) shipyard.

Whats that like a group selection of shipyards? Whatever you do in one shipyard is repeated automatically in the rest of the group?

No, so when you go to one shipyard and build a constructor, then go to the next shipyard and build a missile attack ship, when the first shipyard is done with constructor, the missile attack ship is still selected, where as you are likely to want the constructor at this shipyard.

I will have to get back into the game again to refresh my memory on this point! lol

Also - since were talking on shipyards.

 

If you go into design, design a ship, then a shipyard completes, it defaults to (top ship) or the the designed ship.

 

Also when in designer - if you navigate from a shipyard - it would be nice if you returned to the shipyard and not back to map screen (which then requires me to re-open the shipyard).
