Feature request: 'Skip One Turn' button

For sure, the list of active units (PgUp/PgDn keys) is extremely helpful in order to find units you forgot about. However, its usefulness in SC is greatly diminished by lack of 'skip one turn' functionality. There are so many units end the turn with some unspent strikes or action points that it becomes really cumbersome to make use of the list. It would be so much easier if there were a way to mark a unit "done" and remove it from the list till the end of the turn.

I like the way it is implemented in Order of Battle. A single button is used to toggle between normal state, Skip One Turn and Sleep Forever states.

Actually, I saw a discussion thread on steam with developers promising this feature back in 2017 (sorry, cannot insert links yet), but the feature still seems to have been never implemented...

So, I would like to ping the developers, remind them about their promise and let them know that there are at least two people out there waiting for the feature [:D]

That does sound useful to me. I'd give it a nod.

Hey guys, I do remember the request and I believe we mentioned we'd look into it.

I only mention that as we rarely make promises, and only because we learned early on not to make a promise on something you may not be able to keep.

It is still on our list, just unfortunately other priorities have kept it from making it to the top. But we'll see what we can do, no promises of course.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you of breaking any specific promise. I just hope that some day the feature will make it to the top of the list :-)
