Looking for a UI mod for ship management

Post by bobthe »

Does anyone know of a UI mod for ship management? It's extremely difficult to manage any decent sized fleet with the current ship page. In particular I am looking for something that allows the ability to filter each column, not just sort them.

I am not looking for any changes to the game's business logic, purely a UI mod.

EDIT: After a quick look at the table of contents in the mod manual it doesn't even look like UI mods are possible. They support themes and skins but not actual UI mods as far as I can tell. Can anyone with more experience confirm this?

I also want that. I think the way information is displayed is too limited specially in very big galaxies. I hope the developer make the ui moddable soon.

a) you can sort the ship list by fleets and filter them by ships (like military ones)

b) there is a fleet manaement screen (at the top middle area, one of the right ones, left of the troop management button), this window allows you to manage your fleets and gives you some nice tools.

c) you can manage fleets quite nicely from the galaxy zoom level and if you use fleet stances it should be easier, game has some great automation...use it if you don't do anything in particular with that fleet :).
