<r> To attempt to counter this problem I usually leave one continental/marshy world uncolonized (in controlled territory of course) and send construction ships to build 10-20 starbases/mining stations (which is possible as long as one does not already exist on the planet). Of course this is ...

Happens a lot (and always with a specific mining base). Not sure what's causing this other than having too many military ships?

Some way to view cargo resources from the main screen would eliminate 75% of unneeded Ship manager openings that I have to make.
