Pro Tip: Dealing with 'No Production'

Once you get in the habit of using thescreen for sorting your hangars and quickly creating your new ships, you will likely find other similar uses for the column sorting capabilities on this screen. You probably already know about sorting byso that you can pinpoint unhappy star systems, but another column that I use a lot is When you click on thecolumn header, the star systems are sorted by how many years (i.e, turns) it will take to build the next thing on the queue. Now the sort is actually broken in my opinion as the star systems with the most years are shown at the top followed by thesites and then thesites at the bottom. I think it should beon top followed by the reverse order of 'years remaining' which putsstar systems at the bottom. If this were the case, then you could hit thecolumn header twice to get the reverse sort order and thenstar systems would be listed at the top which would be wonderful!Despite this sorting flub, the point is that thestar systems are grouped together and so you can scroll down and see them and work on them from this screen. This is much better than using thepopup as that list does not include newly invaded star systems nor other star systems where you mistakenly left them with no production in prior turns. Dealing withon thescreen is the smart way to go.In fact, once you get in the habit of dealing with hangars and production from thescreen you will find that thepopup becomes just a security blanket that ensures that you dealt with everything before you complete the turn. Instead of hitting it first, I tend to leave it for the last thing I look at before I complete my turn.
