Steve -
I know you just released 4.0b, but after plotting out a major colonial effort for a system four jumps away from Earth, I had an idea. I have no idea if it would be hard or easy to program, but it sure would make things easier when giving orders. Would it be possible, when giving movement commands on the task group screen, to change things so that instead of having to give orders like this: "Move to warp point A, transit warp point A, move to warp point B, transit warp point B, move to warp point C, transit warp point C, move to planet D", I could could instead select a destination from a list of my race's populations, and then Aurora would calculate the path from System A to System C, planet D? I know it might be problematic if there are multiple paths, and pathfinding might be problematic even if there is only one, but giving these movement orders is time consuming, and if it could be streamlined it would help reduce the overhead greatly.
