Keyboard commands
Think I'm missing some key commands. One for "next ship" and another to make a plotted ship finish what's left of its route, without ending the turn. Is there a better/different list than in either the game or the manual? Have I just missed these two somehow? Thanks.

Maybe try going here....

Options --> Interface tab

At the bottom in the middle, click the "Input" Button. You'll see the list of all the keys you can remap.

Not sure if the commands you are looking for are in there, but not sure where else to look.

Thanks, knew that, but the commands I was looking for aren't there. Thought I had missed something.

You are missing nothing because there is nothing there. Keyboard shortcuts are few and far between and we have heard NOTHING about adding more. For a game which has such massive scope there is very little incentive to enjoy it. I can't play a large map because it is impossible to manage an empire of over a hundred planets like this.

Yeah, it's pretty rough. Think, more than that, I want to be able to scroll through the ship bases/starbases---like you can the colonies. Have waaaay too many to open and close one at a time.

I'd love some sort of search and destroy order to give fleets. Functionally it'd be like the survey command, but instead of seeking out negative space wedgies the fleet would seek out enemy targets within range to shoot them. That would significantly ease micromanagement.

The big thing is starbases. Ohgod, the starbases. Starbases are a royal PITA to manage. Its micromanagement hell, especially on big maps. Starbases really do need to be automated somehow. Scrolling between starbases would be nice, but if they were automated there wouldn't be much need to scroll between them.

Tab key next turn action. few other commands I found somewhat useful are G for turning on and off the grid. if you have a path to somewhere, you can mouse over it and hit CTRL key to see how far/how long it will take to get there.

There does seem to be a few missing commands. One of them that I miss from Gal Civ 2 is C for centering on the ship I'm controlling. I found that just forgetting that ship and hitting tab to the next command, I'll eventually cycle back to it.

A few more commands would be helpful....I wonder if they can be modded in.
