There's no printable list at present that I'm aware of, but you can view/change most of them in the Controls section of the game's options.

Oh. I saw the hotkey reference when using the options but never really paid attention to them, much less that they were the same keys. For whatever reason I was thinking that each option had it's own key (like there's enough keys for that, lol) -- you know like you could select the planet/asteroid system and hit a certain key to queue up a specific ship type w/o having to go through the options. Thing is I can never remember all those hotkeys so I think I'll like this setup.

Unfortunately, I can tell I'm going to really like this game. Over 10+ hours on a game yesterday, finally calling it at 2:30am. To think, this is only beta w/o a limited set of ships and all.

I do hope that there will be objectives which can be set for games. A way to declare victory w/o having to literally obliterate an opponent. It was down to two of us and I had control of two star systems and the opponent one. I know given a couple more hours I can destroy him, but at some point it would be nice to reach a point where the game is conceded w/o having to wipe out every last planet. I'd rather spend that time on starting a new game than mopping up.

Can you be a bit more specific about what you mean exactly?

OK, you know the little cards in the lower right hand card? If you left/right click on those, you go through various events in the que. Do the same thing, only let me click on the individual ship classes, and it'd "scroll" through the various ships, focusing the view on whatever ship has the "focus" at the time.

E. G. something to the following effect:

I need one of fleet 1's light cobalts to detach itself from the fleet and jump down the jump lane to find out whats at the next (unexplored) line in the chain, because I haven't been able to sneak scouts past the enemy screens this far. I can either hunt through the entire system its in to find one, or...

Put the mouse over the "1" shield, then Alt+R click on the shield to "lock" the infocard indicating ships in the fleet into its open position, then scroll down to the cobalt line. Every time I click on the "cobalt" category, it centers the view on a given Cobalt in the fleet. If I right click, it backs the selection up one, if I left click it advances one (in the "list" of ships -- even though the ships are displayed in one line there, you can see by tabbing through fleets that the fleets "remember" which order ships were added to it, so there is some kind of list there).

Understood?



Because... sometimes I'm hunting for a given ship across my entire empire (e. g. that one colony cruiser that was over here... somewhere...), or I just can't find my light frigates in the rather messy combat over here...

Yes there is -- the fleet point counter! If you highlight that, you get a readout of how many ships are taking up how many points... Wouldn't that work too? (Edit: And don't I feel stupid for not knowing you can expand the fleet list...)
